Sure. USC don't have the crystal, but they do have the right to speculate of what could of happened had they been in the game, and let's be real, they should have been there. Same with Auburn in 04. Anyone unbeaten in the best conference in America can claim anything they want to.
I don't see him totally getting rammed out of the SEC, but I do see him getting rammed out of Auburn. I can see him landing in Spurrier's S Carolina post, or Rich Brooks' Kentucky posts when either would retire.
