On ESPN’s 'First Take,' former NFL player Chris Canty made an inaccurate statement about Ole Miss football, claiming the program has won only two games against AP Top 10-ranked teams in the last 60 years, crediting current quarterback Trinidad Chambliss for both victories. However, this claim is factually incorrect; Ole Miss has actually defeated numerous ranked teams since the start of the century, including several wins over top-10 opponents like LSU and Georgia within recent seasons.

Story summary
On Tuesday morning's episode of ESPN's "First Take," former NFL player Chris Canty inaccurately claimed that Ole Miss football had only two wins against AP Top 10 teams in the last 60 years, both secured by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. During a discussion about Chambliss's future prospects in professional leagues, Canty made this statement while pointing to a graphic of Chambliss. However, this assertion was misleading; Ole Miss has a much longer and more successful history against ranked opponents than Canty suggested. The program under head coach Lane Kiffin led by Chambliss notably won over LSU on Saturday and previously defeated Georgia in the College Football Playoff, highlighting Chambliss's contributions but not the entirety of Ole Miss' achievements over decades.
