The Florida State Seminoles (1) will have to defend their spot atop the AP poll without Jameis Winston when they welcome ACC rival Clemson Tigers (22) to Doak Campbell Stadium.

Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, was initially suspended for the first half of the game for shouting an obscene joke in Florida State's student union. The suspension turned into a full game after the school's administration received some backlash for going too light on the quarterback.

Clemson may not get to take on Winston directly, but they have the chance to return the favor for what the Seminoles did in Death Valley, S.C. Ranked fifth at the time, Winston and Florida State trounced Tahj Boyd and then-third-ranked Clemson 51-14.

"Just from what they did to us last year, that was an embarrassment," Clemson safety Jayron Kearse told the media ahead of Saturday night's game, according to the AP. "Just looking through media, that's all they talk about is how they beat us 51-14 and things like that.

"That's old, that's behind us. We're just ready to go out and show the world what we can do (on) Saturday."

Florida State has held on to its number-one ranking despite not looking quite as dominant as they were last year and has lost some first-place votes as a result. Clemson rebounded from an opening game loss to Georgia by drubbing South Carolina State 73-7. Saturday night's contest is both teams' first ACC game.

Sean Maguire will be thrust into a big game for the Seminoles and Clemson will no doubt try to put max pressure on the sophomore who has only taken 26 snaps in his football career.
