Washington hasn't looked good. Atlanta's looked a lot better than most of us expected. Phoenix has been a bit of a surprise this season. 10 new players on the roster, including 5 rookies, and they look better than all the cellar dwellers in the league.

The Mystics still have to gel as a team. It's not going to help that Emma is leaving soon.

So the Mystics are the only team that gets the "Gel" reason for not being good right now ? I think all 12 teams can say that at this point .

Interesting ratings, but consider this. The Storm (2nd), Sparks (4), and Fever (10) are all unbeaten at home and winless on the road. The Fever's losses are all to top half teams and they have beaten the Sparks. Seattle hasn't beaten a top 5 team.
I believe Seattle is improved, but their schedule is incredibly skewed. The Storm have 13 of their 20 games before the All-Star break at home, and play only 4 of their 9 games against Minnesota, LA and Phoenix before the break. It is as if the league wanted the Storm to look good before the All-Star game to assure interest in the game. It is quite possible the Storm will have the second best record at the break, but I don't think they are the second best team.

2 Sparks , with Sims out and Riquna gimpy , Beard + Carson have to chase more PGs around than last year.
3 4 5 6
Merc , who wants to bet they have a better record this year? Hey nobody took that bet.
Wash , still how soon can they jell?
Storm needed a big and a big-big, a small guard and back-up point, got them ... hey you gotta play them
NY is down how many starters and has a size gap like last years Sun and Sky, can't so what all that.
7 Atl , Angel's production replaced by ... hey pleasant surprise
8 9 10 = rebuild on the fly / doldrums / chance at a higher pick
Fever Sun Sky
11 12
Wings replace their top 2 players from last year with rookies, uh oh health Paris , and hope
Stars can get +5 wins from #1 , +2 wins from #5 , +1 win from PG improvement

Thanks for pointing that out. I edited mine to move Dallas to 6 and moved some others around. Sun and Dallas are tough to rank - both have about the same record. Sun have some big wins lately but did lose to Dallas.

Dallas benefited from an easy schedule to get those four wins. Had they been wins against Minnesota, Los Angeles and/or Washington; I'd move them up.
