All major postseason implications are now out the window for the Duke football program, but it still needs to pick up at least one more win across its final two of the regular season to become bowl eligible. Sitting at 5-5 on the campaign, most fans and insiders probably didn't expect the Blue Devils not to be even bowl eligible at this point of the season, given the major investments they made into the program this past offseason. After falling to No. 19 Virginia, Duke dropped to 4-2 in conference play and eliminated any chances it had to make the ACC Championship game and potentially the College Football Playoff.
Duke will finish the season 0-3 against ranked opponents at home, throwing away several opportunities to collect marquee wins and put itself in a position to have a special season. Nonetheless, the Blue Devils can still take down their arch-rival in the Tar Heels, and at least salvage some of the year. Here's everything fans need to know before Duke football's final road game of the regular season.
