Actually, I think Muschamp is more likely to wind up at Clemson or UT since Auburn probably will wait till after the 'bama game to fire Tubs...

It's pretty silly to think they'd fire Tuberville after one lousy year, even in the unlikely event that they tank for the rest of the season. Just a few plays separate them from 7 and 0 (or 2 and 5 for that matter), and Auburn would look pretty bad canning him, with the kind of success they have enjoyed with him. Anyway, he has a history of winning the games he has to in order to get himself out of the trouble he gets into by losing the games that he shouldn't. If they can get any kind of offense going, it wouldn't surprise me if they win out.
Most importantly, while there's certainly no love lost between Tubby and the powers that be at Auburn, they are going to balk at shelling out the $6M it will take to get him to go away. Colonial Bank isn't likely doingwell enough that Lowder wouldn't be willing to give him another year or two to sort things out. And if I was Clemson, I wouldn't pay enough for him to get him to leave Auburn.
