Athlon Sports has released its latest article with its Athlon's Pre-Spring Top 25 for 2015 and Clemson is #11 on the list.

The Tigers have won 10 or more games in four consecutive years and also finished four years in a row inside the Top 25.

Other ACC schools on the ranked list include Florida State (#10 overall) and Georgia Tech (#15 overall).

Virginia Tech was not included in the Top 25 list but rather as a team to watch.
