The Mississippi Supreme Court put the entire college football on notice by point-blank denying the NCAA's appeal on Judge Robert Whitwell's ruling on Trinidad Chambliss eligibility case. It is what the entire college football world is talking about since it came out on Friday, March 27, but what it means for Ole Miss and Chambliss is much bigger.
Sure it made Chambliss a massive threat to all teams next season (and their National Title odds), but Chambliss comes in contention for an equally massive accolade with the update.
As of March 29, the Ole Miss QB has officially tied to be the odds-on favorite to bring the Heisman to Mississippi this season.
Trinidad Chambliss listed as Heisman favorite
The FanDuel Sportsbook has Trinidad Chambliss at +800, tying his odds with CJ Carr to lift the trophy this season.
Pete Golding was already confident in him coming home with another year of eligibility, and that's why he has him as a full-go in the spring practice.
Last season, the Lane Kiffin drama overshadowed Chambliss's astronomical production and hijacked all the attention that should have gone to Chambliss's Heisman race. This year, the attention is undivided.
Ole Miss has lost some of Chambliss's key targets to the transfer portal and the NFL but Golding took care of that months ago.
The Rebels already had a No. 2 transfer portal class, and are on a recruiting chase that will likely end them in the same Top 3 rank range.
All that's left for Ole Miss fans to do is grab some popcorn and sit back to enjoy another off-the-charts, mind-blowing season that Chambliss paves to be a way to the Heisman Trophy.
