The Sugar Bowl is hoping and praying it's LSU just for ticket sales. This is very unlikely to happen.
Not true. The merchants of New Orleans prefer for visiting teams to come in and spend money from out of state. Fill up hotels and restaurants and bars. They aren't the least bit worried about ticket sales. Most SEC schools travel well.

They really just don't want Florida they have traveled terribly for the last two Sugar Bowls they were in. That same reasoning you listed gets thrown out a lot and it is true to a degree, it is has to be the right visiting team. Having LSU really does not lead to much of a drop off. The Michigan v. Va-Tech game was horrendous.
