Rhett Lashlee, SMU hope to crash the ACC party, spoil Clemson playoff bid

CHARLOTTE - SMU hopes to continue being the ACC’s party crashers.

The Mustangs are in the ACC Championship in year one of conference membership, proudly embracing the chaos they have imposed on the ACC shakeup.

Rhett Lashlee’s Mustangs aren’t strangers to the stakes of Championship Saturday, with his group in last year’s AAC Championship, taking down Tulane 26-14.

Lashlee says his group has been in “playoff mode” since early November, doing everything they can to ensure they are one of the last 12 teams standing.

SMU is 11-1 but has played in some tight contests this season.
