SMU coach Rhett Lashlee isn’t quietly entering the 2025 season. He is firing shots.His main target was the Southeastern Conference, a league that views itself as the best in college football.But Lashlee’s not so sure the SEC is loaded with quality teams.”The SEC has had the same six schools win the championship since 1964,” Lashlee said at ACC Kickoff on Tuesday in Charlotte. “Not a single one has been different since 1964. That’s top-heavy to me. That’s not depth.”Those six programs to collect every title since 1964 were Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee. There is one exception: Kentucky shared the 1976 title with Georgia.SMU qualified for a College Football Playoff spot last season ahead of SEC teams like Alabama, South Carolina and Ole Miss.Making it more impressive is that it came in the Mustangs’ first season in the ACC. SMU went 8-0 in conference regular-season play, lost to Clemson in the ACC title game and to Penn State in the first-round of the CFP to finish 11-3.Lashlee is bullish on the ACC’s accomplishments as a conference.
