Morning links: Pac-12 blowouts abound

Stanford outscored California in every quarter of the big game and cruised to a 38-17 victory. That was the closest of the Pac-12's games in a week full of crooked scoreboards.

Game recaps and other links are after the jump.

-- The Cougars lost at Arizona State on Saturday because they were unable to overcome five turnovers. We have our story from the game our notebook … and our final thoughts from the game. We also have the game book and postgame videos of Mike Leach, Joe Dahl and Luke Falk, Vince Mayle and Marcellus Pippins.

-- What happened to Utah? The No. 17 Utes had the worst senior night imaginable: a lopsided loss at home to Arizona. The Utes simply weren't good at all but at least Arizona's Bondurant is a proud papa.

-- As previously mentioned, California got blown the heck out by Stanford in a loss that hurts more than just Cal's bowl chances. Stanford had a pretty big loss, too.

-- Marcus Mariota's last game in Autzen (probably) was an easy win over an overmatched Colorado team.

-- UCLA won its third consecutive rivalry game against UCLA behind a big game from Brett Hundley.

-- Washington blasted the Beavers to become bowl eligible.
