The day is here. The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released later today and the No. 1 Oregon Ducks are looking to continue their dominance in the CFP rankings... and eventually the playoffs themselves.

While the first CFP rankings most likely won't reflect the final ones, many people tune in to watch the ever-dramatic rankings unfold. This time around, there will be 12 teams included in the playoff bracket, not just four.

So, as the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff rankings rapidly approach, how can Duck fans (and other football fans) see where their team lands?
