Both Clemson and SMU were selected to the College Football Playoff and eleven other teams qualified for bowl games. The ACC was tied with the SEC for the conference with the most bowl participants as both conferences had thirteen teams qualifying for bowl games. However, the bowl season did not proceed well for the ACC, as they finished a collective 2–11 in bowl games. Their .154 winning percentage was the lowest of conferences sending more than one team to bowl games.

All-Americans

Consensus All-Americans

Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. Players are chosen against other players playing at their position only. To be selected a consensus All-American, players must be chosen to the first team on at least half of the five official selectors as recognized by the NCAA. Second- and third-team honors are used to break ties. Players named first-team by all five selectors are deemed unanimous All-Americans. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans.[68]
