Legally, the Sugar Bowl does not have to take an SEC team to replace the SEC Champion if lost to the BCS game.
However, the Sugar Bowl and other BCS bowls will bend over backwards to select a team from it's tie in conference as a replacement for a good practical reason: it does not want to jeopardize a future contractual tie in with it's conference.
The Sugar Bowl doesn't want to tick off the SEC.
The Sugar Bowl has selected SEC teams the last 3 years to replace the SEC Champion lost to BCS game.
So, it's not a legal reason but, a very strong practical reason an SEC team will be picked if available.
