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

TEAM		PAGE 2 SAYS	MO' METER
1. Seattle Mariners		Please! We give up! Can't we just start the playoffs already?
2. Florida College Football Powers		Miami (No. 1), Florida (No. 2) and Florida St. (No. 6) all open big, totally dominate polls. What was that fantasy about Oregon being center of grid universe?
3. Williams Sisters		Yes, they're great players. And in case you haven't noticed, they're also smart, funny and well-mannered.
4. Los Angeles Pro Hoops Teams		Sparks roll to their first WNBA title, and there's nobody out there who looks like they can run with Lakers (though they should look out for upstart Clips). It's official -- L.A. is the world capital of pro basketball.
5. Michael Schumacher's Mystique		Winningest Formula One driver in history arguably the best driver ever.
6. New York Yankees		Second-best record in baseball, second-biggest divisional lead, El Duque is back, Mussina is focused, Clemens has forgotten how to lose. Don't cancel that Canyon of Heroes parade yet.
7. Houston Astros		Hottest and best team in NL is methodically squeezing life and hope out of beloved Cubbies.
8. New York Islanders		Cheap, woeful and colorless no more, new-look Isles sign Alexei Yashin to biggest contract in NHL history. After no expectations for so long, now they have to live up to them.
9. Fresno State football		Upset Colorado, then crushed Oregon State. These mystery men are for real if they can beat Wisconsin on six days' rest.
10. No-Hitter Mania		On consecutive nights, Mike Mussina misses perfect game by a strike, Cards' rookie Bud Smith fires no-hitter. As they say, whenever you watch a baseball game, you just might see something you never saw before.
ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: West Coast NL Teams, Fabulous Burton Boys, Oakland A's, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, U.S. men's Goodwill Games hoops team, Pat Summerall, record-setting jockey Jerry Bailey, "Rush Hour 2," "Band of Brothers"

5. NFL replacement refs		Looks like they'll be working this weekend in a can't-win situation for them and the league.
4. NL East Leaders		Stumbling, fumbling, bumbling once-proud Braves can't get out of their own way, but Phillies are so bad they could even blow second to hapless Mets.
3. Oregon College Football "Powers"		SI preseason title pick Oregon State blown out by Fresno State, Oregon is lucky to get by No. 23 Wisconsin. Maybe next year.
2. U.S. men's soccer team		Fell from first to fourth in region with third straight loss -- Wednesday to Costa Rica. But Saturday's home loss to Honduras was inexcusable and might cost U.S. the World Cup berth that once looked like a lock.
1. Boston Red Sox		Fire one manager who's performing miracles, force coach of overachieving pitching staff to quit, publicly question honesty of best pitcher in game, tick off most popular player, get swept by hated arch rival while scoring only two runs in three games. Must be the Red Sox, must be September.
ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: Dallas Cowboys, Florida Marlins, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Danny Almonte's father, "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," "Summer Catch," H-P/Compaq merger, the economy
