It’s not the ranking of the teams that matters, that’s not how it works. The bowl picks the team they want. The ranking is only the order in which the bowls get to pick, not the ranking of the teams. Therefore, it’s whatever team those bowls feel will be the best for the stadium, attendance, and TV.
I would think Orange bowl would pick Bama over any team but UF because UF is in the state and I’d imagine have good attendance? Not sure Bama will have good attendance this year due to the let down?
Then I’d say Bama because they’d be a bigger draw over Auburn. But hard to say.

This is wrong. That's not how it works anymore. The Orange Bowl is the highest ranked non playoff ACC team and/or its champion (if the champion isn't in the playoff) matched up against the highest ranked Big Ten/SEC/Notre Dame team (whichever is highest).
