The weekend that college football fans have long dreamed of – and spent countless hours arguing about – is finally here.
Kicking off at 8 p.m. ET Friday, the first round of the new and expanded College Football Playoff is bringing winner-moves-on, loser-goes-home football to campuses for the first time. It all gets started from historic Notre Dame Stadium when the seventh-seeded Fighting Irish take on the 10th-seeded Indiana University Hoosiers on ESPN.
For decades, SMU was cast off into football irrelevance and served as a cautionary tale for when the pursuit of success on the gridiron gets out of hand. The 2024 Mustangs are looking to change that narrative. Led by quarterback Kevin Jennings, the Mustangs fell one clutch Clemson field goal shy of capturing the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in their first year in the conference and have racked up an 11-2 record.
