CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson understands the higher stakes this week for the third-ranked Tigers against No. 17 Florida State and plans to keep calm the only way he knows how - by not thinking too much about it.
''My main focus right now is getting these tests done this week and finishing up school,'' he said Monday. ''And then football.''
The football is many other minds this week.
Clemson (8-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) is widely expected to be one of the four College Football Playoff teams when the committee's first rankings are unveiled Tuesday night.
