The No. 8 SMU Mustangs and No. 18 Clemson Tigers will face off on Saturday as the stage is set for the 2024 Atlantic Coast Conference championship. SMU, in its first season as an ACC member, has been a revelation with an 11-1 record and going undefeated in conference play. Meanwhile, Clemson, with a 9-3 overall record and a 7-1 mark in the ACC, looks to reclaim its dominance.
Led by coach Rhett Lashlee, the Mustangs have climbed from a preseason projection of seventh place in the conference to championship contenders. On the other hand, Dabo Swinney’s Tigers, although underdogs by a slim margin (+2), remain one of the most talented rosters in the ACC.
