Coming off a disappointing 37-34 loss at UConn, the Duke football program still sits in a prime position to compete for an ACC Championship, still sitting at 4-1 in conference play. The top of the ACC is packed with five one-loss teams, and after last weekend, Duke fans can consider it a blessing that the Blue Devils' upset loss came out of conference, as both No. 20 Virginia and No. 14 Georgia Tech lost in-conference games in upset fashion. Despite being just 5-4 overall on the season, the hectic ACC has given the Blue Devils a chance to secure their first ACC crown since 1989. However, this contest against the Cavaliers now becomes a season-deciding matchup.
Virginia was the last ACC squad that was undefeated in conference play before falling to Wake Forest this past weekend. Now, Duke can cement itself at the top of the conference standings by handing the Hoos their second straight ACC loss. The Blue Devils have struggled against ranked opponents at home, losing to both Illinois and Georgia Tech. However, a win this weekend could make all that irrelevant.
