- 3rd Degree: So after reading the CONCACAF Club Ratings for 2001-2010 and the reference to MLS dynasties, I thought I put together a simple table to assuage my curiosity and this is what I found. Note that my table runs for 11 years, since the end of the shoot-out era. I also don't take into account who won Supporters' Shields, MLS Cups, etc, just who earned the highest percentage of points available.
