RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Coastal Division champion Georgia Tech has placed five offensive players on the all-Atlantic Coast Conference team.

The all-league team was announced Monday following a vote of 40 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.

The 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets led the way with six first-team honorees -- including quarterback Josh Nesbitt, running back Jonathan Dwyer, receiver Demaryius Thomas, guard Cord Howard, center Sean Bedford and defensive end Derrick Morgan.

Atlantic Division winner Clemson landed three players on the first team, led by star all-purpose threat C.J. Spiller.  Tight end Michael Palmer and defensive back DeAndre McDaniel were named first-team selections.

Georgia Tech and Clemson play Saturday in the ACC championship game in Tampa, Fla.
