I think you are right, but my feeling, and it's only my feeling, is that Crist would not go along with all the Poodle BS, and not waste the time of other schools if he was definitely going to USC. Crist has not been to ND yet, and I do not see him giving USC any kind of committment, silent or otherwise, until he at least makes the visit. It just does not seem to be Crist's style to do otherwise. He may have indicated to USC that they are his preference at this time, and may come to ND just to eliminate the Irish as a choice, but if he shows up on Wednesday, IMO there is as of yet no "silent commit" to USC.
The whole silent commit business is all BS anyway, what does it really mean? That is why CW doesn't want them anymore, and is rumored to have already turned down at least 2 recruits who tried to offer them.
Case in point on just how silly the silent commit is. Habern on his Rivals video said that he silently committed to Oklahoma last month, but Stoops acted like he was surprised when Habern gave him his verbal this week. I guess Habern's commit last month was so silent that even Stoops did not hear him.
