If hell actually does freeze over and A&M beats bama, it is pointless to put them at number one because they will loose to multiple teams this season besides bama.

No,
Oregon which is number 2 does if they win.
Number 3 moves to number 2. A&M may jump somebody but they aren't going to number one. Only Notre Dame (77)and Miami (83) have pulled off jumping from 4 to 1 when teams in front of them didn't all lose.
Moving from 6 to 1 would be unprecedented and frankly wouldn't be right if all teams above win.
Again, outside of the top 5 which can shuffle, teams rarely make big moves close to the top spot.
Football goes by polls and polls only. Number 2 moves to one. 3 to 2. It's where you are when that final regular season poll hits. Right now 1-10 could win it. the final week of the season you better be 1 or 2. If you are 3 you better hope 1 or 2 loses. Number 4 you have bigger issues.
