BYU has't the record to buffer a down game against Washington. Besides, as bad as Washington was last year it's worse this year.

How many examples do you want? You want one from Week 2 last year with a highly ranked team playing a very close game against a much worse team?
Cal beat CSU in Week 2 last year, 34-26. Cal went from 10th to 8th in the AP.
Nebraska beat Wake Forest 20-17. Nebraska went from 16th to 14th in the AP (Wake wasn't receiving any votes at the time the game was played, having lost to BC by 10 the week before).
