I feel like I might be overrating them on the strength of their quality loss. Still, blowout win this week.

I've been impressed with how the Mustangs have transitioned to the Power 4

Stanford had no chance from the start against these Mustangs. I like the way SMU plays and while their schedule has been a little light, they gave BYU everything they could handle and have a chance to bolster that resume against Duke and Pitt over the next two weeks. Win both, and SMU has a serious opportunity to run the table and go to the ACC Championship Game, a statement that would sound almost incomprehensible five years ago.

Handles Stanford. Next up: Duke

Stanford takes a big loss to the Mustangs. Just don't get another payroll going!

Mustangs hate cardinals apparently

LSU seems to have figured it out, this is a much better team than they were in the beginning

Best team in the ACC. Guarantee it.

Only one bad loss.

The ACC gives them some chances to build a resume and offset that BYU loss. Pitt will be a fun game.

(6-1) Loss to BYU.

Loss to BYU hurts, and weak schedule has not helped. Do not view Louisville highly, but it is a decent win. Will shoot up if they can beat Pitt.

Played really well but have a loss
