Here we will look at and discuss how Miami football is still a championship pretender in 2025 after losing to SMU.

SMU is currently 5–3, and sits in a four-way tie for fourth place in the ACC. The Mustangs gave coach Rhett Lashlee a contract extensio n Friday, and it paid off quickly with a win over his former team.

The win was SMU's first against an AP top-10 team since the Jan. 1, 1983 Sugar Bowl against Pitt and first at home since 1974.

Boopie Miller and B.J. Edwards each scored 20 as SMU handled Tarleton State 96–76 on Monday in a series opener for both teams. Edwards went 7 of 12 from the field and 4 of 5 at the line with four assists, while Miller finished 4 of 9, hit a perfect 11-11 free throws and added five rebounds.

ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum gives the Miami Hurricanes a brutal reality check after their Week 10 loss to SMU.

SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee fired back at Miami’s Mario Cristobal following the Mustangs’ 26-20 overtime win Saturday, disputing the Hurricanes coach’s postgame claim that SMU had mimicked Miami’s snap count.

The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes, led by quarterback Carson Beck, face the SMU Mustangs on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025 at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Plus, UNT is two wins away from double digits for the first time in school history and ESPN’s College GameDay is headed to Lubbock.

Mustang fans wanting a keepsake from the huge upset win against Miami now have a chance to own part of those fallen goalposts.

SMU and coach Rhett Lashlee have agreed on a contract extension amid speculation that he could be a candidate at Arkansas, his alma mater, and other schools on the lengthy list of vacancies.
