SMU gets quick ACC validation as Cal, Stanford also try to find their way in new league
The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! DALLAS — A giddy Eric Dickerson visited the SMU locker room after the Mustangs made their Atlantic Coast Conference debut with a thumping of defending league champion Florida State. “It’s hard to put into words in a short answer of all the things that this means to just the SMU family and everyone who’s connected to the university, past, present or will be.” The Mustangs are the leaders among the three ACC newcomers, just a couple of weeks after social media was having fun with the idea of California and Stanford playing for the league title following their exit from the now-splintered Conference of Champions, also known as the Pac-12. But I do think it validates that we feel like we can add value to this league.” A long time coming SMU’s highly anticipated return to a power league brewed for more than a year, kicked to another gear when the schedule showed Florida State as the first ACC opponent. “High school Fernando would have been like, ‘Oh, I thought we were going to Yale, play in the Ivy League,’” Mendoza said when asked about his new league before the loss to Florida State.
