because it was a time when they felt superior to BYU. When the reality is the they backed their way into two conference championship games during a time when a weak conference was at a historical low.

They can’t handle the truth that the Pac wasn’t that good, and therefore they weren’t that good. The fact that BYU is finally on the same footing and objectively better this year is pouring salt in the wound. Their superiority complex was built on a foundation of sand, and they are grasping for any argument that preserves that complex.
