Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss gained fame last season for Houdini-like escapes in the Sugar Bowl CFP win over Georgia. He says the post-game highlights felt risky in the moment and could have endangered his team. Analysts have dubbed him “the face of college football” for 2026, and EA Sports considered him on a cover but did not pursue it due to NCAA eligibility disputes. Entering his final season, he is focused on a more mature, pro-style approach under new offensive coordinator John David Baker, aiming to raise football IQ and leadership. His path includes playing at Ferris State in 2024 and nearly quitting football to play Division III basketball, before becoming a projected Ole Miss backup in 2025 after Ferris State’s D-II title. He remains aware of NFL draft eligibility and the pressure that comes with fame, with Ole Miss ranked ninth in the preseason AP Top 25.

CFP, ESPN Agree to 24-Team Playoff Expansion

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots. The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
