The big college football games were all out west last week. But there was a stark difference between the big games in the Pac-12 and elsewhere around the country: the Pac-12 games were defined by blowouts. Utah upset Oregon, UCLA did whatever it wanted against Arizona, and the Trojans avenged their loss to Stanford with a dominating win over Arizona State. It was a bad weekend for the Arizona teams, who lost by a combined 54 points. But all of the other big games around the country were close, last-second wins. Texas A&M needed overtime to take down now 1-3 Arkansas.
