That is not what he said or I said. He said Alabama will be ranked #1 only because Penn State had a bye. Penn State didn't have a chance to challenge for #1 because they didn't play. I said teams ranked lower than another team have leapfrogged them because they played and the team above them didn't. If that could happen then Penn State could also have leapfrogged Alabama had they played and had an impressive win, especially if they played a ranked opponent. Alabama beat Arkansas St 35-0, not exactly an impressive score against a team they should have ran up 60+ on. Had Penn State played Iowa, like they do next week, and whipped their ass by 70-3 or some insane score that could easily happen, then Penn State could've leapfrogged Alabama. It happens all the time, which is why teams run up scores...
