Wednesday Pac-12 lunchtime links
Good morning (barely) everyone, sorry about the lateness of these links.

If you haven't seem then already, we've got stories today with reaction from two Pac-12 coaches to their colleague Steve Sarkisian's decision to leave UW for USC ... An update on athletic director Bill Moos' efforts to get Washington State a bowl invitation ... And our final Pac-12 Power Rankings of the regular season.
For bowl projections and links from around the conference, follow the jump.
