Clemson maintains its ACC title hopes

Sure, it's a bit of a stretch, but the Tigers are optimistic that they can win the league title this year. Of course, it'll take some help from other teams and a lot of luck, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. (Another notebook is here.)

NO PEEKING: Clemson coach Tommy Bowden says he doesn't want his team looking past North Carolina to the Nov. 1 game against Florida State. And Bart Wright says Bowden doesn't care.

IT STILL HURTS: Clemson's players and coaches say last Thursday's tough 17-15 loss to N.C. State is still bothering them.

RUNNING UP THAT HILL: Clemson's Tye Hill wonders whether moving from running back to defensive back was such a good idea.

DIRTY PICTURES: Clemson players Ben Hall and Yusef Kelly say they don't know how pornographic pictures ended up on their personal Clemson University Web pages. Yeah. I know I never looked at dirty pictures between the ages of 18-21. Ever.

CLEMSON-WAKE GAME TIME SET: They'll play the Nov. 1 contest at 3:30 p.m. As of right now, there is no television.
