Tigers No. 4 in pre-season poll

Clemson is ranked No. 4 in Collegiate Baseball's 2011-preseason baseball poll. Defending national champion South Carolina is 14th, Coastal Carolina 24th and College of Charleston 35th.

TCU is No. 1, Florida No. 2 and UCLA No. 3.

Based on what Clemson lost (Harman, Freeman, Parker and Nester), No. 4 seems a little high. Top 10-15 seems more reasonable to me.

USC returns several key players, but replacing the entire weekend rotation, catcher and shortstop might make them more in the 15-20 range.
