If Florida State couldn't take advantage of the opportunities SMU gave it late Monday night, how can it be a contender in the ACC?

Florida State and SMU don't have any video replay or helmet communications, as well as limited lighting after a power outage. What to know:

Kevin Jennings shook off a pair of interceptions to lead No. 19 SMU’s winning scoring drive, capped by Nick Reed’s 20-yard field goal with 21 seconds to play, to wrap up a 27-24 win over Florida State on Monday night.

Florida State is struggling, SMU looks terrific again, and the winner will take a big step forward in the ACC. Here's the CFN prediction and game preview.

SMU was the only college football game on Labor Day and on primetime national television, and they didn't disappoint.

SMU is a 2.5-point favorite on the road, per the latest FanDuel Sportsbook odds, and the Over/Under for total points scored is 54.5. The Seminoles are in the midst of a pivotal season that will have a major impact on the future of the program, while the Mustangs are trying to get back into the CFP conversation in 2026.

What a weird, embarassing night in Tallahassee.

In a win that say a technical delay, multiple turnovers, and a career day for senior quarterback Kevin Jennings. SMU comes out on top in season opener on the road
