Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 SMU Mustangs football team represented Southern Methodist University (SMU) in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Mustangs were led by Rhett Lashlee in his third year as the program's head coach. The Mustangs played their home games at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in University Park, Texas.

The 2024 season was SMU's first in the ACC since moving from the American Athletic Conference (The American). The Mustangs clinched a berth in the 2024 ACC Championship Game with a 33–7 win over Virginia, becoming the first team transitioning to a power conference to reach a conference championship game in the national championship game era (since 1998).[1] The Mustangs lost the conference championship game to Clemson, but still secured a berth in the 12-team College Football Playoff (CFP). In their CFP first-round game, SMU was defeated by Penn State, ending their season with an overall 11–3 record.
