Why did Bama choose TX over LA?

Distance doesn’t play a factor it seems, as they are certainly closer to New Orleans than Dallas. And it wasn’t because ND was closer to New Orleans. Just curious.

They also don’t choose, the committee decides where everyone will play. They gave Bama the chance to have more fans.

The committee made the assignments. Their explanation for the assignments?? "The number 1 seed deserves the bowl game that allows the most in attendance numbers". I think they said Texas allows 16,000 and the Sugar bowl only allows 3,000. Again, not completely sure of the attendance numbers they spouted off.

Maybe I'm a little biased...

but under what circumstances would you NOT choose Texas over Louisiana? It's a no-brainer. There's a reason it seems like half of Louisiana has migrated to the Houston area over the last 40 years.
