Has nothing to do with ticket sales, hotels, tourists, etc. Highest-ranked team goes. Barring a Florida win, it will be Auburn.

Coaches have Auburn ranked ahead of LSU so if CFP ranking follow suit, it will be Auburn.

While technically true because it goes off the CFB playoff rankings, the Sugar Bowl and playoff committee will definitely be communicating throughout the process. All things equal, committee would likely rank the Sugar Bowls preferred choice higher. Again, all things equal, and that may not be the case in the eyes of the committee.. They very well may see auburn or Florida or LSU as the team that should be ranked higher regardless of the SBs preference

Personally, I think LSU should be ranked the highest and is the best team. But I 100% get the argument for Auburn. Won't be disappointed either way, because both LSU and Auburn had their chances to control their destiny and failed.
