As I've already stated previously. It wouldn't matter if ND's schedule wasn't tougher they'd be in regardless. Oregon doesn't have the name power ND does
Look, I'm one of the first to talk about the power of name brand and historically Notre Dame has a bigger name, but unlike 2001, Oregon is now recognized as an elite power. They were in the BCS CG 2 years ago and in the top 5 last year. Unless they have some really unimpressive win, i don't see the voters just having Notre Dame jump them. Remember Oregon is currently #2 and they play USC before Notre Dame does. If Oregon beats them it will take a little luster off ND beating them. Pollsters do go for name brand, but they also don't usually drop teams they've been voting in the top 2 all year if that team doesn't lose.

I won't believe it until I see it. Don't have much faith in the system. The voters may not jump them but I don't have faith in the computers. If it happens it means Oregon has risen to a point I never imagined would happen.
