SMU in driver's seat for ACC Championship berth after bludgeoning Pitt

Those bemoaning realignment for creating random conference opponents must remember that SMU’s two biggest wins in the last 41 years have come at Pitt’s expense. 

The 1983 Cotton Bowl victory vaulted SMU to an AP postseason No.2-ranking, its highest since the 1950 national championship year. Saturday night’s 48-25 win (and Clemson’s loss to Louisville) again put the Mustangs at their highest national relevance in a generation: a front runner in a Power Four conference.
