SMU Mustangs 2026 Season Preview | Win Total, ACC Odds & College Football Playoff Chances

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the SMU Mustangs 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 SMU Mustangs roster and what to expect in the ACC this season. Can Rhett Lashlee push his 38-16 run in Dallas to another double-digit-win season in year five? Does Kevin Jennings turn a 3,641-yard, 26-touchdown 2025 into a real Heisman push?

Was 9-4 a fair read on this roster, or should the Mustangs have banked two or three more wins from four one-score games? Can coordinator Rob Likens keep an offense that finished 31st in total offense rolling with Jennings back under center? Which returning weapons pick up the slack around him? Does a defense that ranked 89th in total defense and a rough 135th against the pass get fixed under co-coordinators Maurice Crum and Ricky Hunley? How does a 2026 schedule that opens at Florida State and closes at Notre Dame set up? And where's the betting value on the SMU Mustangs win total, ACC odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
