Summary
Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss was granted a sixth season of eligibility by a state judge after suing the NCAA. Chambliss had previously been denied a sixth year of eligibility due to lack of evidence of an incapacitating injury or illness. The NCAA was deemed to have operated in bad faith by the judge. The Rebels came close to advancing to the College Football Playoff championship game, losing to Miami in the Fiesta Bowl. Lane Kiffin left the team to take the LSU head coaching job, and the team’s postseason was marred by controversy.
