The Colorado Rapids sit at 7-2-3 on the season, which is good enough for No. 1 in the Western Conference and Supporters' Shield standings. At home, the Rapids are unbeaten with a 6-0-0 record at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. This weekend, they face the Seattle Sounders FC on the road. A win there would give Colorado some breathing room at the top of the league table.
After a formidable three-game slate, the Rapids have risen up the power rankings and continue to gain respect around the league. See the complete MLS power rankings from MLSsoccer.comand SI.
