ACC newcomer SMU takes on ACC stalwart Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship. The SMU Mustangs come into this game at 11-1 overall and were a perfect 8-0 in the conference. Clemson snuck into this game when Miami lost to Syracuse last week. They finished the season 9-3 overall and 7-1 in the conference. Clemson’s lone ACC loss came against Louisville at home. Clemson is coming off a loss to South Carolina last time out. Quarterback Cade Klubnik has thrown for 3,041 yards with 29 touchdowns and five interceptions. Clemson is putting up 35.7 points per game and on the defensive side, they are giving up 21.6 points per game. Clemson is 5-6 against the spread this season. SMU has made a good showing in their first year in the conference running the table for an 8-0 conference record. Quarterback Kevin Jennings has thrown for 2,746 yards with 19 touchdowns and seven Interceptions. SMU is putting up 39.2 points and is giving up 19.8 points per game. SMU is 8-4 against the spread this season. SMU can move the ball through the air with Jennings and on the ground with Smith. Clemson cannot get into a shootout as their offense has struggled against good defenses this season. SMU has the 19th-best scoring defense and the fourth-best rush defense. SMU has been the better team on both sides of the ball if only by a slight margin. Clemson has been here before but this is not a typical Clemson team. I like SMU to win the Championship in their first year.
