Southeastern Conference fans will be whining forever, but the simple truth is, neither LSU last year nor Auburn this year could have handled USC.

Top 10 reasons Matt Leinart should leave USC and go to the NFL:

10. He won’t have to spend next December posing with a crystal football while standing in a ring of fire.

9. No more coeds asking, “Are you going to the party on Friday?”

8. He’ll look great holding a clipboard in his nice, clean uniform.

7. Traveler’s tail has gotten way too “My Little Pony”-ish.

6. Two words: Bonnie Bernstein.

5. Less chance of running into Anthony Davis while he’s wearing a mesh T-shirt.

4. NFL cheerleaders don’t wear sweaters.

3. He won’t ever have to play football in L.A. again.

2. Only way to get a Chunky soup commercial.

1. Losing builds character.
