Maybe. But it's hard to justify that argument this year. ASU and BSU were underdogs regardless of the winner between Clemson/Texas and SMU/PSU respectively. Additionally, if Georgia loses, it could be due to their starting their back-up QB and not due to the rust.
Oregon and Ohio St. offer some evidence to your theory though a counterpoint would be that it is difficult to beat a team twice especially given the game was at a neutral site and Oregon only barely beat Ohio St. in Eugene when they played earlier in the year.
