To earn "consensus" status, a player must win honors based on a point system computed from the four different all-America teams. The point system consists of three points for first team, two points for second team and one point for third team. No honorable mention or fourth team or lower are used in the computation. The top five totals plus ties are first team and the next five plus ties are second team.[44]

Their ten first round selections tied the record for most first round selections from a conference in a single year. Also, the ACC had the most selections of any conference in the draft (thirteen total). The ACC also became the first conference to have five top-ten picks in the modern draft era (since 1966).[50]
