I am certain you put a lot of work in putting this all together here. But with all due respect Earl I have to disagree with your choice for 141 lbs in the PAC 12. That being Timmy Box of Cal State Bakersfield. Box went 4-4 last season and lost twice to Cal Poly's Colton Shorts (9-5 and by Med Forfeit). And Colt Shorts only went 9-7 last season against limited competition. Also your 2nd team PAC 12 pick at 141 lbs, ASU's Matt Kraus, isn't competing this season at 141 lbs - he moved up to 149 lbs. ASU's starter this season at 141 lbs looks to be Mech Spraggins.

In fact the following appear to be the probable PAC 12 starters this season at 141 lb

ASU - Mech Spraggins (RS FR)
Boise State - Jake Velarde (RS FR) OR Jared Johnshoy (RS FR) OR possibly Geordan Martinez (True FR)
Cal Poly - Colton Schilling (RS FR)
Cal State Bakersfield - Timmy Box (RS JR)
Oregon State - Jared Reis (RS SO) OR Devin Reynolds (RS FR)
Stanford - Isaiah Locsin (True FR)
