Orange Bowl contenders: Week 10

Entering week 10, let's take a look at who might be getting the non-ACC spot in the Orange Bowl.

First, these teams are the eligible teams (SEC, B1G, and Notre Dame):

1 Mississippi State 7-0
3 Alabama 7-1
4 Auburn 6-1
6 Notre Dame 6-1
7 Ole Miss 7-1
8 Michigan State 7-1
9 Georgia 6-1
13 Ohio State 6-1
16 LSU 7-2
17 Nebraska 7-1

If the season continues on its current trajectory, then Mississippi State is probably going to be in the SEC championship game and the CFP.  Michigan State is on track to win the B1G.

Most likely candidates are Notre Dame, Ohio State or Nebraska from the B1G, and the Iron Bowl winner or Georgia from the SEC.

We'll see how this compares to the selection committee on Tuesday night.
