East Texas A&M focused on replacing key offense talent during the offseason, while prioritizing consistency and balance on defense. The team returned starting quarterback Ron Peace, who threw for 2,535 yards and 16 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. East Texas’s leading rusher, B.K. Jackson transferred to Abilene Christian; however, leading receiver Christian Jourdain is back as well.

The No. 16-ranked Mustangs finished 8-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference last season, No. 1 in front of the Clemson Tigers. They had an 11-3 record overall and made an appearance in the first-ever College Football Playoffs. They secured the No. 12 seed in the CFP and took on the No. 6-seeded Penn State in the first round. They would lose that game by 28, almost proving the doubters who said they didn’t deserve to be there.

SMU finds itself back inside the top 25 largely due to the return of several key starters in that CFP run. Kevin Jennings, the quarterback who led the team last season, is back for his junior year. He threw for 3,245 yards and 23 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. However, they did lose their leading receiver, Roderick Daniels Jr, and rusher Brashard Smith to the NFL.
