Toronto FC	-0.750	-0.266	-1.016	-0.239

Like last week, one game had a big impact on the rankings, Portland's 1-0 upset of RSL.  RSL still seem to be recovering from their loss at home in the CONCACAF Champions League final.  The big drop in their SRS is primarily due to sample size.  This is only the 5th MLS match of the season for them.  They have the highest MOV so should still be considered one of the top teams in the league.
