National titles

In 1935, SMU had a 12–1–0 record, scoring 288 points while giving up 39.[2] The Mustangs shut out eight of their 12 regular season opponents, including conference rivals Texas, Rice, Baylor, and Texas A&M. The 1935 Mustangs were crowned national champions by Frank Dickinson,[3] one of seven contemporaneous selectors, all math systems, that chose five different national champions that year.[4]: 112–114  Dickinson was an economics professor at the University of Illinois. SMU claims the 1935 national title without qualification, even though they lost the Rose Bowl, as the Dickinson System was the first math system that was national in scope to select national champions.[4]

SMU claims three national championships in football, including 1981, when SMU was one of five teams selected as co-champions by the National Championship Foundation, and 1982, when the team won the Cotton Bowl Classic and was selected as one of two co-champions by Bill Schroeder of the Helms Athletic Foundation as his last ever selection.

1981 was during the peak years the Pony Express, definitely SMU’s glory days, of course it was all tainted with the pay for play scandal, But that seems quaint now.
