It's a huge night in the United States as Tuesday marks the first 12-team College Football Playoff rankings. After 10 seasons of a four-team playoff, the committee opted to go with a dozen teams this year, so here's your refresher now that the first rankings are here.

NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre made a bold statement on X the night of the presidential election. Favre posted a picture of an Electoral College map in which all 50 states were red for Republicans, with a caption that read, "If everyone put God first this would be the results."

Social media erupted on Election Day when first lady Jill Biden wore a GOP-red colored pantsuit to cast her ballot. President Biden famously announced in late July that he would be ending his re-election bid, following mounting pressure from fellow Democrats and a rough debate performance against former President Trump in June. Biden has since been largely absent from the campaign trail despite his vice president, Kamala Harris, emerging as his replacement on the ticket. The Republican Party is synonymous with the color red, and the color is even used to indicate which states support former President Trump when election coverage features maps on television. The first la…
