Clemson vs. SMU: How to watch ACC Championship, TV channel, streaming, start time and stats

The No. 8 SMU Mustangs (11-1, 8-0 ACC) face off against the No 18 Clemson Tigers (9-3, 7-1 ACC) in the ACC Championship with a College Football Playoff berth at stake.

Clemson opened the season with what seemed at the time like a catastrophic loss to the then-No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs by a 34-3 score. They then rattled off six straight wins, lost to Louisville, won three more but most recently lost to South Carolina.

The Tigers got into the title game thanks to the Miami Hurricanes (10-2, 6-2 ACC) losing two of their final three games in conference play.

The Mustangs had a smoother time of things, going undefeated in the conference and losing just one game all season. It was a three-point loss in Week 2 against a BYU team that started the season with nine straight wins, meaning that early-season result won't be held against SMU too much.
