Oxford and Adjustment. I know, I'm insane

Hi there. Well i just had something that i wanted to ask. This year, Ucas is offering the a level students a new option where if they exceed their ( firm choice) offer, they can register for Adjustment where they contact other universities to see if they can get a place there with their grades. Well i was wandering, would this be applicable at oxford, especially for Chemistry course? I know oxbridge doesnt take part in clearing, but is it possible to get a place through this option?
Thanks.

I have not found an official Oxford Adjustment position.
But I can't see it happening unless applicants applied to Oxford in the 08/09 cycle and were near miss candidates.

You wouldnt know what would happen to near miss candidates then would you?

Nothing. If Oxford take anyone through Adjustment I will eat my hat.

And I don't even wear a hat, so this is a wager which could involve considerable expense for me.
