Program setting and 2025 context
SMU plays home games at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The team went 9–4 in 2025; that prior record is shown separately from the 2026 results, so a reader can distinguish completed seasons from the current slate.
The history tab traces the program's venue, landmark seasons, and rivalries. The schedule and stats tabs use only the 2026 games currently published by the school.
