Yep, because two coaches who own a combined 4 NC's obviously aren't qualified enough to speak on ESPN. And hey, lets forget about Urban not being an SEC coach, and Saban picking the Ducks to win.
Your missing the point though, he's just saying it would be nice if they brought in a perspective from a Pac-10 conference coach which is right. Saban and Meyer played Auburn this year so their opinion on them is valued, but it would have been cool to have a Pac-10 coach talk about what they had to go through playing Oregon.

I would have been happy to see a Big 10 or Big 12 coach over two coaches with strong SEC ties.

Might be beside the point, but Auburn didn't play Florida this year. We've only faced Meyer twice and beaten him both times. We pick up Florida again 2011 season.

Also, I thought I read here that Belotti was supposed to have something to do with the pre and post game coverage.

They should have brought in Masoli, he played for Oregon and against Aub, he would have been able to add some interesting commentary (if he wasnt too baked)... :)
