This is the third season in a row the Blue Devils will play in a bowl game and they've won their bowl contest each of the last two seasons.
The Blue Devils took down Troy in the 76 Birmingham Bowl 17-10 last season and defeated UCF 30-13 in the Military Bowl in 2022.
Duke will head to its bowl game looking to end the season on a four-game win streak and winners of four of its final six games.
The only blemishes to Duke's record this season came against Georgia Tech, SMU, and Miami. The Hurricanes were one of the first two teams out of the College Football Playoff and the Mustangs are in the field as the #11 seed.
Duke also ends the season with a 5-1 record at home and an outstanding rookie year for Diaz.
The Blue Devils will have a tough test in the program's final game of the season against an opponent out of the SEC, but it's been a 2024 campaign that couldn't have gone much better for Duke football.
