I think Arizona goes to the Fiesta just because you can't really give a conference only 1 bid to the big 6. There's no rationale for it when you have multiple 10-win teams from that conference.

Maybe they rank outside the top 12, but I still think they go. The SEC isn't getting 4 teams and no one else deserves 3.

If they are outside the top 11 (top non power 5 champion is the 12th team in) the fiesta can't select them. Based on BC's helpful breakdown, they would have to fall behind 2 teams that also lost, and then the committee would have to move TWO SEC non-division champs (9-3) into the field, over 10-3 division champ Arizona. I think they are in.
