Vanderbilt-Florida Preview

Jim McElwain's season-long rallying cry has Florida on the cusp of an SEC East title, and perhaps an even greater prize down the road.

The 11th-ranked Gators can clinch a berth in the conference championship game with a win over Vanderbilt Saturday afternoon, the first step in McElwain's plan of "restoring the order" to one of college football's premier programs.

Florida (7-1, 5-1 SEC) has seemingly all but sewn up its first SEC East crown since Tim Tebow's senior season of 2009 following last week's 27-3 rout of rival Georgia, putting the Gators two games up on the Bulldogs and Tennessee in the loss column with victories over both.
