## Resource

Ole Miss Rebels challenge ESPN’s analytics, aiming far higher than a 7-win projection as talk of a College Football Playoff berth heats up. Can star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and standout running back Kewan Lacy, dubbed the SEC’s best at their positions, fuel a postseason run for Lane Kiffin’s squad? Steven Willis highlights Ole Miss’s offensive firepower, a rebuilt secondary, and why analytics may be underestimating the Rebels in the new 12-team playoff landscape. Key segments include Pete Golding’s defensive prowess after a signature Sugar Bowl win over Georgia, the impact of brutal road trips to Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma, and lingering questions about the transfer portal’s effect on predictive models. Plus, Ole Miss legend Archie Manning earns national praise as ESPN’s top college player to ever wear No. 18—has the torch officially passed to Chambliss? Don’t miss sharp insights, bold predictions, and a tribute to Rebel royalty.
