When Ole Miss and Miami get College Football Playoff semifinal action going on Thursday night, each team will feature a high-profile quarterback who transferred into the program. For the Rebels, it's Trinidad Chambliss, who went from the bright lights of Big Rapids, Mich., to a national powerhouse. For the Hurricanes, it's Carson Beck who previously starred for Georgia.
The sport, quite obviously, is evolving fast. This is the second year of the 12-team playoff and pretty much everyone thinks that number will grow. All four of the remaining teams—with Oregon and Indiana on the other side of the bracket—have bolstered their rosters through the transfer portal. The Ducks' Dante Moore and Hoosiers' Fernando Mendoza are also excelling after transferring earlier in their careers.
