No. 18 Clemson has another chance to make the College Football Playoff when it plays in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game against No. 8 SMU on Saturday.

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.

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.

Clemson pulled off another victory over a top-five opponent as an unranked team, this time defeating No. 4 Kentucky 70-66 in the SEC/ACC Challenge.

Chauncey Wiggins scored 12 points and Ian Schieffelin had 11 points and a career-high 20 rebounds as Clemson shut down No. 4 Kentucky for a 70-66 victory in the SEC/ACC Challenge
