Bowl games don't really go to the correct placement of teams. A&M and Texas likely won't deserve the Sugar and the Texas Bowl would be more appropriate. That would be rational at least.
The reality though is if Texas and A&M played in the Sugar that game might get higher ratings than the NC game and tickets would start at $1000 on Stubhub for the cheap seats. Do they really want to throw that bone to the Texas Bowl? Maybe, but that's a lot of potential exposure and ratings. Texas moving to the SEC cranks up the drama level several notches as well.
