The official wording (as far as I can tell)
Quote:

When assigning teams to sites, the committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home‐crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed.

Both LSU and Ohio State would be at a greater advantage (i.e. more convenient) in Atlanta so the Peach Bowl likely gets the 1/4 game.
Georgia as a #4 would probably have sent the 1/4 to Fiesta (to avoid having a #1 at a
disadvantage)
