(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 on many other minds this week.
The Tigers (8-0, 5-0 ACC), voted No. 1 in this week's initial College Football Playoff rankings, can lock up a spot in the league's title game Saturday when they face banged-up Florida State (7-1, 5-1).
