re: if both teams win out, who goes to the better bowl? LSU or ole Miss

Whichever one the bowl in question thinks would make them more money. And that is what I hate about the bowls. Teams like Notre Dame that have no business even thinking about a BCS bowl stay in contention just because of their reputation. Watched the Pitt-ND game last night and it almost made me throw-up listening to how the 23rd ranked Notre Dame (and their over ranked at that) had to win to stay in BCS contention. If they were in the SEC they probably wouldn't even have a winning record.
