Wouldn't have said this in December: "All are winnable".

Totally different mindset with this team now. They expect to win games now.

@ NC STATE could be tough, and look what happened to a couple good teams that played at GT.

All are certainly winnable.
But have to put every road game in the "semi tough" category. There's no such thing as a gimme, even BC.

I think we will do better than 6-4 the rest of the season.

But even 6-4 would put us at 19-11 (12-6). That's definitely good enough to go dancing.
So proud of this team and coaching staff! Go Tigers!

Wake is gonna bite somebody...

...gotta hope it's not us.
BTW, RPI Wizard, which has to try to make sense of a team that lost to a trio of sub-200 teams in December, then beat four Top 20 teams in January, see the rest of the season thusly:
at Florida St., 4-point loss
at Wake Forest, 2-point win
at VTech, 1 point win
That indicates that the RPI ranking knows something is screwy about Clemson's upper 80s ranking, but it doesn't know what to do about it. So it's putting us in razor-thin outcomes, but on the winning side. BTW, I'll take 2-of-3 on the road in the ACC any time. That would get us to 8-3.
Notre Dame, 1/2-point win
Georgia Tech 4-point win
BC, 17-point win
The disparity between the GTech winning margin and the BC blowout highlights the dissonance RPI-based models have this year with Clemson. They have no problem showing us blowing out teams ranked lower, but can't quite pull the trigger at home vs. GTech. Instead, it defaults to a "close call" win. Still 3-0 is quite a feat, moving the Tigers to 11-3.
at North Carolina St., 1 point loss
at Georgia Tech, 3 point loss
Virginia, 3-point loss
at Boston College, 10-point win
Dropping 3 straight would be unpleasant, especially with two of the games at very winnable opponents, the Wuffies and the Bees. I'd look for a split there instead, moving to 12-4. After seeing how we stack up vs. the Hoos, a win there isn't impossible. In fact, I'd expect it. but say we lost, then beat BC on the road.
We'd end up at 13-5 in conference, 20-10 overall. It's interesting to note that after roaring through the tourghest part of our scheduled, RPI Wizard has us stumbling against lesser foes. Of course, 3 weeks ago, it had Clemson finishing at 8-10, rather than 12-6. This time next week, it could say Clemson will finish 14-4 if things go well.
Put your faith in the guys, not in RPI!

We need 7 wins to have 20 regular season wins.

A magic number for the NCAA tournament. There is no guarantee of an ACC Tournament win. That's why winning 2 of the next 3 is so important. Virginia and ND at home are not guaranteed wins.

with the exception of BC are potential losses. all of them. need to finish .500 or better in the aways. Rev is spot on, wake will bite somebody. fsu, gt, and ncsu are extremely difficult
