CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Clemson coach Dabo Swinney expects his team to focus on its next opponent -- and not the eventual championship possibilities that could come from beating Florida State.

The Tigers (5-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) could take a stranglehold on the ACC's Atlantic Division by defeating the Seminoles (4-4, 2-3) on Saturday.

But Swinney said Tuesday his team must stick to the work ethic and focus it's used during its three-game win streak.

That might be hard.  The FSU matchup will be Clemson's first night home game since 2007 and be broadcast on ESPN.  Swinney says it's not the team that's most excited but the one that's most prepared that comes out on top.
