#5 NBA Basketball… Not
After months of negotiations, the NBA owners and players seem to be farther apart than ever. It’s a battle royale pitting the big market owners vs. the small market owners vs. the marquee players vs. the rest of the players. The winner is yet to be determined.

#5 Florida Free Fall
There are no Florida schools in the AP Top 25 Poll this week. Not the University of Florida. Not Florida State. Not the University of Miami. None of the above schools are listed among the top 25 teams in the nation this week for the first time in almost thirty years. There's always one on the list. Usually two. Often three. Now - none.
