Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is eligible for a sixth season of college football after a Mississippi judge denied an NCAA appeal. The NCAA formally rejected his request for a sixth year of eligibility Jan.

9 because he and his team could not provide evidence he had an 'incapacitating injury or illness' when he did not play for Division II Ferris State in 2022 because of apparent respiratory issues. Chambliss then sued the NCAA, and a judge ruled last month that the NCAA 'operated in bad faith' by trying to keep Chambliss ineligible for next season, a decision the NCAA appealed.

Ole Miss came within a quarter of advancing to the College Football Playoff championship game, losing a 31-27 thriller to Miami in the Fiesta Bowl Jan. 8.

However, several coaches, including offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., went back and forth between LSU and Ole Miss for the playoff games.
