Power Rankings: Week 22

Jackson (left) and FC Dallas have surged into the No. 2 spot in this week's Power Rankings after a scoreless draw in Columbus.

What were you doing on May 20? Too long ago to remember? It seems like a lifetime ago for FC Dallas, who have reeled off a 12-game unbeaten streak since they lost way back when. They're at No. 2 this week after a scoreless draw in Columbus, while RSL hold down the top spot and LA plummet to their lowest ranking this year.
