"Ended up with the same record" is quite the way to describe a team that beat BYU head-to-head, finished ahead of BYU based on tiebreaker procedures, and won their conference championship game (beating another top-20 team in the process).

Are you going to give ASU credit for doing this in their first post-sanctions year?

If BYU wants to be treated as a P4 team (and not as a MWC team with a P4 patch on their jerseys), we can't turn around and cry foul when BYU is judged on equal footing against other P4 teams. "But, but, but we SUCKED until a year ago, and we still SUCK because we don't have a full revenue distribution" is a terrible argument.
