Serious question. They are 8-4 and lost to UGA and Bama to close the season. Florida was the conference runner up. Why are they not in this game?

Don't know about other conferences but the ACC has a deal with the Orange Bowl that the conference runner up goes there if the conference champ ends up in the playoff. SEC doesn't do this I guess?

Florida or LSU would've made this a better game, and I'm not saying this in hindsight because AU is getting blown out. I kind of figured this was going to happen.

Auburn and UF applied, but Auburn paid a higher sum for tickets and UF wanted Big 10

The Sugar Bowl Committee gets to choose, and they usually go with the highest ranked team.

The Sugar Bowl is barely above the Orange Bowl for me. The games are almost always terrible and the quality of one or both of the teams usually leave a lot to be desired.

Florida should have been in, IMO, but I guess they were ranked lower in the polls. Who cares. Oklahoma had a terrible defense, Auburn needs a better coaching staff and they'd win.

Sugar Bowl takes the highest ranked SEC team that is available. Auburn was ahead of Florida in the final poll.
