Prior to deciding which college to attend, Manning received a call from [[David Cutcliffe]], formerly the offensive coordinator at the [[University of Tennessee]]. Cutcliffe had been hired as the head coach at [[University of Mississippi|Ole Miss]] and had previously helped Eli's older brother [[Peyton Manning|Peyton]] improve his game. Upon learning Cutcliffe was now in charge of the Rebel program, the 18-year-old followed his father’s footsteps, and made his way to Oxford, Mississippi.<ref name="jockbio"/>

During his football career at Ole Miss, Eli set or tied 45 single-game, season, and career records. His career numbers include 10,119 passing yards (fifth on the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] career list), 81 touchdown passes (third on the SEC career list), and a passer rating of 137.7 (tied for sixth on the SEC career list). Manning also led the Rebels to a 10-3 record and a 31-28 [[AT&T|SBC]] [[Cotton Bowl (game)|Cotton Bowl]] victory over the [[Oklahoma State Cowboys]] in 2003. He was invited to play in the 2004 [[Senior Bowl]], but chose not to play.<ref name="nflplayers"/><!--ref is for entire paragraph-->

As his senior year came to a close, Eli won many awards including the Maxwell Award as the nation’s best all-around player, the [[Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award]], the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete Award, the Sporting News Radio Socrates Award, and the SEC Player of the Year. He was also a candidate for the Heisman Trophy but voters chose Oklahoma's quarterback [[Jason White (American football)|Jason White]] (1,481 voting points) to win the award. Eli had 710 voting points making him third behind White and Pittsburgh's sophomore wide receiver [[Larry Fitzgerald]].<ref name="heisman">{{cite web|url=http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/2003_archive_awards.html|title=Heisman Won By A QB For 4th Straight Year

Following 2004, Kurt Warner voided the last year of his contract<ref name="warner">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1955151|title=Warner won't be Eli's backup for next year|author=Associated Press|publisher=sports.espn.go.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2004-12-30}}</ref> and Eli was named the starter for 2005.

Chargers fans did not forget the snub, and on September 25, 2005 when Eli and the Giants made their first trip to San Diego for a game since that draft day, the crowd booed Manning loudly every time he touched the ball. San Diego defeated the Giants,<ref name="chargers05">{{cite web|url=http://www.giants.com/gameday/2005Week3GiantsatChargers.asp|title=Giants Fall to Chargers, 45-23|author=|publisher=giants.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2005-09-25}}</ref> 45-23, but Eli displayed what may have been his most impressive performance of his young career, going 24-41 for 352 yards and two touchdowns.<ref name="inside story">{{cite web|url=http://www.giants.com/news/eisen/story.asp?story_id=9181|title=Chargers 45, Giants 23: Inside the Numbers!|author=Michael Eisen|publisher=giants.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2005-09-25}}</ref>

Following his performance at San Diego, Manning returned home to throw for almost 300 yards and a career high four touchdowns against the Rams at Giants stadium in a 44-24 romp.<ref name="rams05">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=251002019|title=Giants versus Rams recap|author=|publisher=ESPN.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=}}</ref> Two games later, he led a brilliant last-minute drive against the Broncos to secure a 24-23 victory for the Giants.<ref name="broncos05">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=251023019|title=Giants versus Broncos recap|author=|publisher=ESPN.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=}}</ref> The drive culminated in a two yard touchdown to [[Amani Toomer]] with 8 seconds remaining.<ref name="broncos05"/> The following week, Manning overcame a weak first half at San Francisco to help his team secure their first official road victory of the season, 24-6. Despite a poor performance at home against the Vikings, throwing four interceptions, he again led his team back to tie the game in the final minutes before Minnesota won on a late field goal.

Eli's second season was largely a success. He finished in the top 5 in both passing yards and touchdown passes, while leading an offense that finished 3rd in the NFL in scoring, with a total of 422 points. It was the most points the Giants scored in a single season since 1963. The Giants won the NFC East with an 11-5 record,<ref name="05finalstats">{{cite web|url=http://www.teamgiants.com/05reviews.htm|title=2005 NFC East Final Standings|author=|publisher=Team Giants.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=}}</ref> and went to the postseason.

The one knock on Eli during his first full season was his efficiency. Even though the Giants finished at the top of the NFC East, Manning himself struggled during his first full year as starting quarterback. Eli completed just 52.8% of his passes with a modest 6.8 yards per attempt, producing an unimpressive quarterback efficiency rating of 75.9 (23rd in the league), leading many sports commentators to question his abilities. Manning visibly wore down late in the season. His play fell off, culminating in a poor performance in the playoffs against Carolina.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aceonsports.com/2006/01/relax-giants-fans-eli-is-still-man.html|title=Relax Giants fans, Eli is still the man|accessdate=2007-10-31|publisher=AceOnSports.com}}</ref>

===2006 season===
{{see also|2006 New York Giants season}}
Manning's second full season was reminiscent of his 2005 campaign. He started off playing well and completed over 65 percent of his passes through the first four games. However, he struggled in the second half of the season and his production diminished towards the end of the regular season. After losing a tough game to his brother Peyton and the [[Indianapolis Colts|Colts]] on opening day<ref name="firstday06">{{cite web|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/nfl/20060908-0112-fbn-giants-ratingeli.html|title=Hype aside, Colts game should offer gauge of Eli Manning's progress|author=David Porter|publisher=Associated Press|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-09-08}}</ref>, Eli and the Giants rebounded from a 24-7 4th-quarter deficit en route to a 30-24 overtime victory over the division rival [[Philadelphia Eagles|Eagles]] in week two.<ref name="eagles06">{{cite web|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=128825&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=55&sid=b0aa526e99d0546d163f214137dfff17|title=Eagles can't stop Eli Manning's OT rally |author=|publisher=Associated Press|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-09-17}}</ref>Manning threw for a career high 371 yards in the win with three touchdowns including a game winning pass to [[Plaxico Burress]] in overtime.<ref name="eagles06-2">{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap?gid=20060917021|title=NY Giants 30, Philadelphia 24, OT|author=Rob Maaddi|publisher=AP Sports|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-09-17}}</ref> Following a poor performance against [[Seattle Seahawks|Seattle]] the next week<ref name="seahawks06">{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20060924026|title=Seattle 42, NY Giants 30|author=|publisher=Yahoo Sports|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-09-26}}</ref>, Manning and the Giants responded by winning five straight games including wins over the [[Washington Redskins|Redskins]], [[Dallas Cowboys|Cowboys]] and [[Atlanta Falcons|Falcons]] to push their record to 6-2.<ref name="biggame06">{{cite web|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20061112/news_lz1s12biggame.html|title=Today's big game: Bears (7-1) at Giants (6-2)|author=Joe Pascale|publisher=SignOnSanDiego.com|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-11-12}}</ref>

Following this winning streak, key injuries including one to receiver [[Amani Toomer]] pushed Eli Manning and the Giants into a downward slide. <ref name="toomer06">{{cite web|url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/giants/2006-11-08-toomer-injury_x.htm|title=Giants receiver Amani Toomer out for year with knee injury|author=Tom Canavan|publisher=Associated Press|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-11-08}}</ref> Playing against the [[Chicago Bears]], Manning started well, but the Giant's offense was derailed by the loss of left tackle [[Luke Petitgout]] to a broken leg.<ref name="petitgout06">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2659628|title=Depleted Giants lose Petitgout to fractured left leg|author=ESPN.com news services|publisher=ESPN|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2006-11-14}}</ref> Manning was held to only 141 yards passing with two interceptions.

He threw two interceptions against the Eagles and tallied only 73 passing yards in a game against the [[New Orleans Saints|Saints]]. Although the Giants battled back to 8-8 the following week at Washington, Manning completed only 12 of 26 passes for 101 yards and one touchdown. The Giants qualified for the postseason and met the Eagles again. Although he did significantly better in this game than the 2005 playoff matchup, completing 16 of 27 passes and two touchdowns, the Giants lost to a last second field goal by the Eagles.<ref name="playoffs06">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=270107021|title=Westbrook, Garcia keep streaking Eagles' train rolling|author=|publisher=Associated Press|accessdate=2008-01-22|date=2007-01-07}}</ref>

For the year, Manning threw for 3,244 yards, 24 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.<ref name="totalstats06">{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?playerId=5526|title=#10 Eli Manning QB

Manning finished the season with a mediocre quarterback efficiency rating of 77.0 (18th in the league) thanks to a lackluster 6.2 yards per attempt. He was generally perceived to be a solid quarterback, but he lacked the more notable successes of fellow 2004 draftees [[Phillip Rivers]] (for whom he was traded) and [[Ben Roethlisberger]].
