No. 9 SMU kept champion mindset in move to ACC and is already in title game before finale vs. Cal
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “So just having a reminder that we can do it.” After winning the American Athletic Conference title last year, the ninth-ranked Mustangs will now play in the ACC championship game — and maybe the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff — no matter what happens in their regular-season finale. let’s carry ourselves like defending champs.” Before looking ahead to the ACC title game, where the winner will advance to the playoff, the Mustangs have a chance to clinch the regular-season title outright and finish conference play without a loss for the second year in a row. Their 16-game conference winning streak is a school record, and that doesn’t include the AAC title game win in Jennings’ first start last December. Since Jennings became their starting quarterback in September, the Mustangs have averaged 41.1 points during an eight-game winning streak.. SMU has won 23 consecutive games when scoring at least 30 points.. SMU’s Collin Rogers has kicked seven field goals over 50 yards, one shy of the NCAA single-season record set in 1982 by Tennessee’s Fuad Reveiz.
