SMU Mustangs Seek Upset Win Over Struggling Stanford Cardinal
11 Oct
Summary
- SMU narrowly made the College Football Playoff last season
- Stanford has notched only mediocre wins this season
- The game will be broadcast nationally on The CW
On October 11, 2025, the SMU Mustangs will host the Stanford Cardinal in a crucial ACC matchup. SMU, who narrowly made the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff as the No. 11 seed last season, currently sits at 3-2 and remains undefeated in conference play after a 31-18 win over Syracuse last week.
In contrast, Stanford is expected to have another transitional season under interim head coach Frank Reich. The Cardinal have only managed mediocre wins over Boston College and San Jose State, with underwhelming performances against BYU and Hawaii not instilling much confidence going forward.
The game will be broadcast nationally on The CW, giving both teams a chance to showcase their talents on a big stage. Cord-cutters can also catch the action live on DirecTV. Radio listeners can tune into the Mustangs' broadcast on SiriusXM channel 194 or the Cardinal's call on channel 385.
With SMU's playoff aspirations on the line and Stanford looking to turn their season around, this matchup promises to be an exciting one for college football fans.
