CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Nobody at Clemson is talking about Tampa this week.
Coach Dabo Swinney says everyone knows how close the No. 24 Tigers are to making the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
If Clemson beats North Carolina State and Boston College loses to Virginia, the Tigers would win their first Atlantic Division crown. Wins over the Wolfpack and Cavaliers next week and Clemson is off to Tampa no matter what Boston College does.
The Tigers have been here before, finishing one game behind the winner each year since the ACC split into divisions in 2005.
Wide receiver Jacoby Ford says the word Tampa hasn't been said in the locker room this week.
Linebacker Brandon Maye says his teammates know what's at stake and that's why they have to take the Wolfpack's potent offense seriously.
