It's a miracle that Clemson is even in the ACC Championship today. But as improbable as it seemed, Miami lost two of its final conference games, catapulting the Tigers into the title match.

The team on the other side of the field will be ACC newcomer SMU. The Mustangs have torn through their new conference, going undefeated in league play. Their only loss of the season came in the second game of the season against BYU. Since then, SMU has been virtually unstoppable. However, it was done through the 75th-hardest strength of schedule, the second-easiest in the ACC.

With a College football playoff spot on the line, this has all the makings of a primer game. A battle-tested Clemson could even expose SMU's weak schedule. Will they be able to make quick work of the Mustangs, or will the Tigers be in a fight for their CFP lives? Here's how you can watch:
