\"acclogo3\"<\/a>The 2013 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team has few controversial picks and is led by ACC division winners Florida State and Duke, as announced Monday by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA).<\/p>\n

Four Tar Heels and four Blue Devils made first team with UNC tight end Eric Ebron receiving the most votes of the eight. <\/p>\n

The Atlantic Division champion and nationally top-ranked Seminoles placed 17 members on the squad, including seven first-team selections, as voted upon by 65 ACSMA members. Eleven players were selected from Coastal Division champion Duke, including four on the first team. This marks the first year in which a first-, second- and third-team were chosen.<\/p>\n

My ACSMA ballot was fairly close to final tally. In fact, my first-team defense was exactly the same except I had Virginia Tech linebacker Jack Tyler on the first team whereas he made second team. Offensively, I picked eight of the same first-team players. See the official final votes below followed by my ballot.<\/p>\n

Boston College senior running back Andre Williams, who leads the nation and set an ACC single-season record with 2,102 rushing yards, was the only unanimous selection to the All-ACC Team (named first team on all 65 ballots).<\/p>\n

Clemson junior wide receiver Sammy Watkins, whose 1,237 reception yards lead the conference, received 63 first-team votes. Florida State redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, who ranks first in the nation in passing efficiency (192.6) and leads the ACC in passing yardage (3,490) and touchdown passes (35) was named first team on 61 ballots.<\/p>\n

ACC Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner Cameron Erving is among the Florida State contingent earning first-team honors. A number of players named to the All-ACC team are also finalists for national honors including Florida State\u2019s Winston (Maxwell Award, Manning Award and O\u2019Brien Award), Clemson\u2019s Watkins (Biletnikoff Award), Boston College\u2019s Williams (Doak Walker Award).<\/p>\n

Other national finalists include first-team defensive tackle Aaron Donald of Pitt (Nagurski Award, Lombardi Award, Bednarik Award and Outland Trophy), first-team cornerback Lamarcus Joyner of Florida State (Nagurski Award and Thorpe Award), first-team tight end Eric Ebron of North Carolina and second-team tight end Nick O\u2019Leary of Florida State (Mackey Award), second-team quarterback Tajh Boyd of Clemson (Manning Award and Unitas Award) and second-team placekicker Roberto Aguayo of Florida State (Groza Award).<\/p>\n

Duke junior Jamison Crowder, who leads the ACC in receptions with 88 and has returned two punts for touchdowns this season, was the only player selected at multiple positions. Crowder was voted to the first team at wide receiver and to the second team as a specialist.<\/p>\n

Boston College\u2019s Williams amassed a team-high 195 points with his unanimous first-team selection (three points for each first-team vote, two points for each second-team vote and one-point for each third-team vote). Clemson\u2019s Watkins and Florida State\u2019s Winston had 191 points apiece. The closest vote came at the placekicker position, where Boston College\u2019s Nate Freese earned first-team honors with 124 points, one ahead of Florida State\u2019s Aguayo\u2019s 123.<\/p>\n
