In miracle fashion, the Duke football program will be playing for its first ACC Football Championship since 1989 this weekend against No. 16 Virginia. This is the first ACC title game appearance for the Blue Devils since 2013, and it couldn't have come at a less expected time. Duke finished the regular season with a 7-5 overall record and a 6-2 record in conference play. But with the chaos that was the 2025 ACC, the regular season ended with a six-way tie at first place, and the tiebreakers favored the Blue Devils in the end.
Duke was throttled by the Cavaliers a few weeks ago at Wallace Wade Stadium, and now has as prime an opportunity as ever to redeem itself. Here's everything fans need to know before the Blue Devils face off against Virginia for their first ACC crown in over 35 years.
