Can't they just both mutually agree to rank each other first? That should be legal enough.

That is just as illegal according to NRMP.

The match doesn't work like that, at least if med match works like pharmacy residency matches with NMS.
The algorithm tries to place the candidate in his #1 spot, and if that program has a spot available, they are "matched" until someone who the program prefers comes along and wants the same position. There is no point in trying to "game the system".
I matched at my #1 too

You can and that happens frequently, but that's not a binding contract. The program or applicant can change their mind or rank them lower with that agreement- it's not an actual offer. Just a gentleman's agreement.

No. Pretty sure it is against the rules for a program to make a statement like that. Applicants can tell programs that they plan on ranking them high though.
Could be wrong about that.
Also, it is important to remember when you go through match that...
EVERYBODY LIES!
