Premise: The 1935 SMU Mustangs football team represented the SMU Mustangs of Southern Methodist University during the 1935 college football season. The Mustangs posted a 12–1 record. Four of the 13 selectors recognized as official by the NCAA (Berryman, Dickinson, Houlgate, and Sagarin) recognize the 1935 SMU team as the national champion.
Hypothesis: the 1940 SMU Mustangs football team won their first match.
