As a result of the Crew's impressive showing in Saturday's 3-0 victory against D.C. United, the Black & Gold moved up in three national media outlets' Power Rankings. Columbus jumped four spots in MLSSoccer.com and Soccer by Ives' rankings thanks in-part to Team of the Week performances from Jairo Arrieta and Danny O'Rourke. The only outlet in which the Crew did not move up the board was in ProSoccerTalk's rankings.
MLSSoccer.com: 6th (10th)
ProSoccerTalk: 11th (11th)
ESPNFC: 8th (11th)
Soccer By Ives: 8th (12th)
