Also, I heard it likely that the other Fiesta team is the best group of 5 team, which sets up the possibility of Stanford going up against its former QB, Scott Frost.

I thought the Big 12 champ is committed to the Fiesta Bowl if it's not in the playoff?

No, Big 12 champ goes to the Sugar Bowl.

Apparently much of this has now changed. The only NY6 bowl game with conference ties this year is the Orange Bowl which is ACC vs. B1G, SEC, or Votre Dame. Everything else is up for grabs.

This is correct, there are no conference tie-ins for the Sugar, Fiesta or Peach this year. For purely geographical reasons the Fiesta is the most likely bowl game for the Pac-12 champ but it's not a contractual obligation.
