GAINESVILLE — "For months, beginning with spring practices, you could ask any Florida player what the goal was for this year's defending national champions, and the answer, inevitably, would be the same:
"We want to get to Atlanta."
The prevailing feeling was if the Gators could make it to the SEC title game and win, a trip to the BCS title game would be secured.
With four regular-season games left, No. 1 Florida has clinched the SEC East title and the trip to Atlanta. Now a season filled with twists and turns adds another challenge for Florida: making sure it doesn't get complacent on the way to the league title game.
"There could be some danger in that," junior defensive tackle Terron Sanders said. "But I feel that our team is mature enough to know that we still have some business to take care of.
"Just because we've clinched the East doesn't mean we've reached where we want to be. One loss could take us off track of … being in the bowl game that we want to be after (the SEC title game)."
