Mythical state championship far from the Gators' minds this week
As No. 2 Florida prepares to take on No. 23 Florida State this week, the idea of a mythical state championship appears to be a non-issue with the Gators.
Several players said they had heard "something'' about it, but didn't seem to have much knowledge - or care - for that matter. Because the Gators and Seminoles both defeated Miami earlier this season, the winner of Saturday's game would be consider the state champion.
But since the Gators have their eyes on a national championship, coach Urban Meyer said there's no talk this week about being state champions.
"No, we just want to find a way to win No. 11,'' Meyer said after yesterday's practice. "We're not into that. At some point we'll have some fun with that, but certainly not at a Tuesday practice.''
