If they are outside the top 11 (top non power 5 champion is the 12th team in) the fiesta can't select them.

What? The Fiesta doesn't select anything. The committee seeds all the top-6 bowls. The bowl committees might get to give input, but unless I'm hugely misunderstanding the process they're not actually picking. And as far as I've read the committee doesn't necessarily need to seed #5-11 into those bowls.
