Original Title: With Penn State’s loss to Notre Dame, Oregon has been eliminated from national championship contention as they will not be awarded a national title by a major selector. The Colley Matrix would’ve awarded Oregon their first national title in program history if Penn State had won out.

Notre Dame has leapfrogged Oregon in the Colley Matrix rankings and is now the #1 team in the country.

While it hasn’t officially been updated yet, updating the poll through the “hypothetical results” section shows that Notre Dame has leapfrogged Oregon. The Colley Matrix would have awarded Oregon a national championship if Penn State won the 12 team playoff, and no scenario exists for Oregon to be the #1 team in the final rankings.

For those who don’t know, this method is also how UCF was officially awarded a national title in 2017.
