well, considering each bowl is a private, for profit business, i am going to assume the sugar bowl is going to be thinking about money just like any business would .. the sugar bowl has a pretty sizeable nut that they have to pay out as a BCS bowl to the two schools, so yes, they are going to make their match up decision based on maximizing their income ..
Which is why LSU is going to get the nod over A&M (if Florida loses). LSU is one of the very best college football brands which brings fans and TV ratings. It's not 1992 anymore. LSU is one of THE marquee teams in the nation. We don't need to make the top four to "force" some bowl to take us. they want us. Badly.

The question is, what money and in what form?
1. Ticket sales - should be an easy sellout with either school. Personally, I think the demand would be much, much higher at A&M, but at the end of the day it is a sellout either way.
2. TV ratings - LSU should have a much higher national appeal given their national status. But if manziel wins the Hesiman, a lot of people might tune in to check this guy out.
3. Tourism. Does the Sugar Bowl care about this? It isn't money that goes directly in their pockets, but if they do A&M would come in and stay for a week. Also, Sugar Bowl Paraphernalia (t-shirts, etc,) would be much higher for A&M
