I know with alligators flipping them over causes them to enter a "trance" because it upsets their equilibrium and vision (like vertigo). I would assume it is the same in crocs but I've never heard anything about it.

Not much, really. Crocodiles are agile and strong enough that they can easily flip themselves back over. It's not like a turtle where they may get stuck there.
The infamous death roll, where a croc gets a good grip on a carcass or victim and spins its body to rip a chunk off is a good example of how quickly and how powerfully they can flip their body over.

His stubby little arms and legs flail a bit until he get's really tired and then he flips back over and it on his merry way.
Crocs twist and turn with food in their mouths and Im not so sure they can stay on their backs... something about air in their bellies but I forget?

It would use its tail to right itself. In the water it flips over all the time to tear lumps from its prey the infamous death roll.

Nothing actually,and they do it in reality too.They do this in the water when eating.They bite a part of their prey,and roll a few times to tear the flesh and then after tearing the flesh swallows it.This roll is usually called the "death roll."
