So far, only 2 top 10 teams have been left out of NY6 bowls:
#10 North Carolina in 2015 and #10 Colorado in 2016.

There are 2 spots available outside the top 10 every single year - one for the G5 team usually and another because there's 12 teams total in these bowls. In 2015, #12 Ole Miss played #16 OK State. OK State made it to the Sugar Bowl as the Big 12 rep when OU made the playoff keeping UNC out.

In 2016, #11 Florida and #14 Auburn made it. Auburn made it to the Sugar Bowl as the SEC rep as Alabama was the only SEC top 10 team that year.

Right now using the AP poll, it would be:

Cotton Bowl: 1. Alabama vs. 4. Ohio State
Orange Bowl: 2. Georgia vs. 3. Clemson
Rose Bowl: 7. Stanford vs. 9. Penn State
Sugar Bowl: 5. LSU vs. 6. Oklahoma
Fiesta Bowl: 8. Notre Dame vs. 13. UCF
Peach Bowl: 10. Auburn vs. 11. Washington

Top 10 ranking would put us in the Fiesta or Peach Bowl.
