I'm not sure there are enough people with many years of experience to fill the quota so I doubt new grads are going to miss out.
Looking at [0] and a simple bit of JS, the bottom end of the 65k person cap is at line 281 at a salary of $100,442, which is on the low end for new grads at Google, Facebook etc.

I'm not sure of the details but some of my colleagues are in this position and they work on some kind of visa that isn't a H-1B and is related to the fact they recently finished studying here.

There's plenty of jobs out there that aren't at Google, Facebook, etc. Companies in lower cost of living areas aren't going to pay that much.

That is correct. H1B is for highly skilled workers. If the new grad isn't the highest skilled worker, then the visa isn't for them.
If kids come to the US for their undergrad/masters/phd and want to work here, they're not going to be the highest paid people competing, but they might have more long term value and chance of truly integrating with the country.
