I challenge you to watch one WSU game all the way through,

I've watched plenty of WSU games.
WSU's 1 thru 5 is as good as any top 25 team in the Country. After that, their bench is WEAK. The reason people challenge WSU's schedule is because they rarely have to get into that bench for anything meaningful. Teams aren't beating on you like they would in the B12, B10, PAC. Last season, you had Hall, Williams and Van Vleet coming off the bench. That's pretty damned potent. This season you have Wiggins, Wessel and Lufile/Coleby - not potent.
After you slaughter the remainder of the Valley awfulness, I think WSU will be struggling to get out of the 2nd round of the NCAA Tourney, depending upon the match-up. There are going to be some fantastic 8-9's in this tourney, that have better depth off the bench than WSU. I pull for WSU since I live here, but a definite reality check is needed.
