SMU may enter Saturday’s ACC championship contest as a 2.5-point favorite over Clemson, but in many ways, the Mustangs are underdogs. They’re taking on a blue-blood program with more ACC championship game wins than any other team in the conference.

In total, 19 football players earned All-ACC honors: three on the first team, two on the second team, three on the third team and 11 were named to the honorable mention list. Running back Brashard Smith, defensive tackle Jared Harrison-Hunte and safety Isaiah Nwokobia were named to the First-Team All-ACC.

Alabama football won't be in action in the SEC championship this weekend, but the Crimson Tide will be keenly watching another conference championship on Saturday night: the ACC title game between No. 8 SMU and No. 17 Clemson.
