Happy Tuesday, 'Nova Nation! So, yours truly is coming off a week-long vacation in Florida and in my attempt to bunker down in the office on Monday, completely spaced on this week's Power Rankings. So those will drop on tomorrow (Wednesday). I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience this has likely caused you. I'm dropping and giving you 20, saying my Hail Mary's, and whatever else is needed to receive my penance.
And now, the "news."
