Page 2's Power Poll dares to rate the teams that are currently wielding the most power in the entire sports universe.

Each week, our poll will rank the 10 teams at the top of the power heap -- and the five teams that have lost the most power in the past week. And, by the way, Page 2 uses its own definition for a "team" -- any group of two or more bonded together for the common purpose.

Our Momentum Meter also predicts the direction these teams will be heading in future weeks (see the bottom of the page for a full explanation).

If you've got anything to say about our Top 10 or our Bottom 5, click here to comment -- or forever hold your peace.

TEAM		PAGE 2 SAYS	MO' METER
1. All golfers named after a large feline		There is only one, and that's the point, isn't it?
2. Sacramento Kings		Best in the West, which means home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. And the Lakers are looking mighty ... mighty shaky, that is. However, if Page 2 may be permitted to repeat itself, the playoffs are a half-court game, and the Kings are a full-court team.
3. Cleveland Indians		Yes, commissioner Bud, the budget-crunching, salary-dumping, perennially underachieving Indians are on a 10-game roll and own the best record in the game (11-1). Maybe it's not all about the payroll. Of course, it's early.
4. All living legends named Barry Bonds		He flew past Harmon Killebrew for No. 6 all-time on the home run list. Mark McGwire is only nine away at No. 5, a mere two weeks' work for Bonds these days, and Frank Robby is only 12 away at No. 4. How good is this guy?
5. Harlan's Holiday & his connections		In less than three weeks, the impressive 4½-length winner of the Blue Grass Stakes is going to be the favorite in the world's most important horse race, the Kentucky Derby.
6. Toronto Raptors		All they have to do to complete the most improbable in-season turnaround in NBA history -- the Raptors are 11-1 since Vince Carter went down with a season-ending knee injury -- is beat the slumping Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night, a victory that would clinch the No. 7 seed in the East.
7. Vancouver Canucks		Not only playing the best hockey (8-0-1 in last nine) of any of the playoff teams, but they're confident even up against the league-leading -- and slumping -- Red Wings.
8. Seattle Mariners		Nobody's paying much attention to them yet, but they are just as good as last year (11-3 so far). Maybe better.
9. The London Marathon		Greatest marathon ever, with Khalid Khannouchi of the U.S. breaking his own world record by four seconds (two hours, five minutes, 38 seconds), and Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain missing the women's world record by only nine seconds ... in her first attempt at the distance.
10. New Jersey Nets		We all know they are not going to win the NBA title, and they probably won't even win the East -- not a good half-court team, no real go-to scorer, very little playoff experience -- but how many of you out there thought they would finish with the best regular-season record in the East? Even Jason Kidd's family couldn't have predicted that.
ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: Diamondbacks' dynamic duo (Schilling and Johnson are both 3-0, and both have 1.17 ERAs), San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, Toronto Maple Leafs, Arnold Palmer, Private Emblem, Buddha, "Changing Lanes," Sheryl Crow

5. Miami Heat		Not only will they be the first Pat Riley-coached team ever not to make the playoffs, but they lost to the Knicks -- without Latrell Sprewell -- at home by 27 points.
4. New York sports teams		Not only do the Knicks fail to make the playoffs with the highest payroll in the NBA, but team "leader" Sprewell is suspended after missing a morning shootaround in Miami and not notifying anybody until an hour before the game. Not only do the Rangers fail to make the playoffs (for the fifth straight year) with the highest payroll in the East, but team "leader" Mark Messier refuses to endorse head coach Ron Low, who was fired Monday. Not only are the Yankees the worst-fielding team in the AL, but they are only 3-5 against major-league competition (Page 2 does not count games against the Devil Rays or the Orioles) ... and most New Yorkers can't even watch their games on TV.
3. Water-seeking spheroids launched by international golfers		For Ernie Els and Vijay Singh, it was pretty much the same sad story: A tentative swing, up goes the golf ball ... nothing but water!
2. Milwaukee Bucks		Staggering to the finish line, playing the worst ball in the East over their last 10 games (2-8), the conference's preseason favorite to make the Finals might miss the playoffs entirely.
1. Detroit Tigers		Off to one of the worst starts ever (0-11) and the worst in team history since the 1920 Tigers started 0-13, it's now or never for Detroit, which begins a three-game series Tuesday night ... at home ... against AAA Tampa Bay.
ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors, Alberta NHL teams, Dallas Stars, A-Rod's MVP chances, Kevin Harvick
