Sporting Kansas City (18-9-7, 63 pts) 6.176
New York Red Bulls (16-9-9, 57 pts) 4.853
DC United (17-7-10, 58 pts) 4.382
Houston Dynamo (14-11-9, 53 pts) 3.794
Chicago Fire (17-6-11, 57 pts) 1.882
Columbus Crew (15-7-12, 52 pts) -0.176
New England Revolution (9-8-17, 35 pts) -1.235
Montreal Impact (12-6-16, 42 pts) -1.897
Philadelphia Union (10-6-18, 36 pts) -2.941
Toronto FC (5-8-21, 23 pts) -11.132

Western Conference
San Jose Earthquakes (19-9-6, 66 pts) 12.926
Seattle Sounders FC (15-11-8, 56 pts) 7.706
Los Angeles Galaxy (16-6-12, 54 pts) 5.456
Real Salt Lake (17-6-11, 57 pts) 4.941
FC Dallas (9-12-13, 39 pts) -2.118
Colorado Rapids (11-4-19, 37 pts) -2.426
Vancouver Whitecaps (11-10-13, 43 pts) -3.176
Portland Timbers (8-10-16, 34 pts) -11.441
Chivas USA (7-9-18, 30 pts) -15.368

So with that in mind, the playoff bracket according to the rankings would have been
First Round
(5) Chicago Fire @ (4) Houston Dynamo -- East
(5) FC Dallas @ (4) Real Salt Lake -- West

Quarterfinals
Chicago/Houston @ (1) Sporting Kansas City -- East
(3) DC United @ (2) New York Red Bulls -- East
FC Dallas/Real Salt Lake @ (1) San Jose Earthquakes -- West
(3) Los Angeles Galaxy @ (2) Seattle Sounders FC -- West
