Perhaps, but I'm not seeing the argument for dropping Oregon far.

You lost in overtime to a solid #13 team. This wasn't a blowout by Baylor.
Assuming Bama/UGA win next week, they go to the SEC championship where one of them gets knocked down to two losses and falls below you (assuming you win out, of course).
So then (in an ND loss situation) you'd have the following 1-loss teams:
- Oregon - lost closely in OT to #13 Stanford
- Notre Dame (in this hypothetical, which I don't consider likely) lost to a 7-4 USC team that lost to both Oregon and Stanford. ND falls below Oregon.
- The winner of Florida/Florida State. Both are 1-loss right now and coule leap frog you, but I expect you will slot in ahead of them tomorrow and they would need a strong showing to convince for the leap frog.
- If Clemson beats South Carolina, they will still have only 1-loss, but I can't see them going from 11 (now) to 2 within a couple of weeks.
That will be it for 1-loss teams. I think you have a decent shot in that situation (again, this is all predicated on an ND loss that I would not bet on) but I guess that will partly depend on your new starting point in the polls tomorrow.
