There's that situation where you've been gone from work or school for a while, and upon your return, you meet someone you haven't seen in a while.
You're trying not to comment on how they've gained weight or that their hair looks like a rat's nest. So you immediately dive for the opening statement that in some way reflects what you've done in your time away.

We'll make our best guess in the season-opening Power Rankings, which are influenced by injuries, uncertainty and the early-season jitters.
