ACC conference play continues this weekend as Stanford travels to Dallas to take on SMU.
SMU was a team to watch after last season, in which they narrowly made the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff as the No. 11 seed. The Mustangs currently sit at 3-2, and are still undefeated in ACC play after a 31-18 win over Syracuse last week.
On the other hand, Stanford is expected to have yet another transitional season under interim head coach Frank Reich. The Cardinal have notched mediocre wins over Boston College and San Jose State, but underwhelming performances against BYU and Hawaii are not reassuring going forward.
Who can notch a solid ACC win this week?
