Incredible Borussia Dortmund!

I wasn't expecting for Borussia Dortmund to perform so well this year. They are top of the Bundesliga after 14 games, having 12 wins, and only 1 draw and 1 loss, with having scored 35 goals and received only 9. They are already 7 points up to second placed Mainz(which is also unexpected) and 14 points ahead of Bayern, which is my favorite team.
I think the key for them is their coach, Jurgen Klopp, who did a great job at Mainz in the past and now he stabilized a team which had the worst defence a few years ago. Klopp has given credit to young players in the defense, Subotic and Hummels are the best duo in the Bundesliga at the moment. I have to admit that I follow Bundesliga, but the last two years I watched mostly only the Bayern games and I cannot make a clear idea about other teams.
However I am surprised that Dortmund and Mainz are up, and Schalke and Stuttgart are at the bottom of the table.
What do you think? What is the key of Dortmund and what is going to be in the end? Will Dortmund be crowned champions or will Bayern manage to win the title again? And what is going to happen with Schalke and Stuttgart? Please let me know.
I would say that Bayern will make it hard for Dortmund, and Schalke and Stuttgart will recover and will finish in the top half at the end.

Yeah, but Bayern hasn't had so many point after only 14 matchdays, as long as I can remember. Maybe in the first or the second year when Magath was the coach, but I think if Dortmund will win all of its remaining 3 games, they will break a record in the Bundesliga.

This is the unpredictable nature of Bundesliga. Earlier in the season, we have Mainz topping the table, then we have Borussia Dortmund now. Last season, we see Wolfsburg claimed the title. No disrespect, but no one won't have guess they are the ones. Usually, it is Bayern Munich.

Yes, you are true, Bayern has won it many times, 22 times to be precise. That is why I am not disappointed that they are not top and that Dortmund is so far away. I love to see Bayern being crowned champions, but I would prefer to see them be crowned as Champions of Europe rather than Bundesliga. Of course, the philosophy of Bayern is to always be number one, but this is impossible.
