With kickoff for WSU and Arizona State just hours away, let’s get a quick look at the Sun Devils from a guy who knows them a lot better than we do: House of Sparky managing editor Connor Pelton!
CougCenter: WSU and Arizona State have nearly identical records, yet both Las Vegas and advanced metrics have pegged the Sun Devils as a significantly weaker team. How do you see it? Is the record a little bit of a mirage, or are the metrics missing something?
I’m a big fan of the “you are who your record says you are” view, but I will say Arizona State is one of the weaker 5-2 teams in the country.
