If they beat Bama, they deserve to be #1 no matter how it happens.

I don't think so. Early year rankings don't mean much, therefore, beating a highly ranked team early shouldn't necessarily launch up up the charts like it would later in the year.

Same reason LSU didn't benefit as much as you would have thought after beating Oregon a few years back.
