After a monumental collapse in the final week of the regular season by SMU, which fell to 7-5 California on Saturday night, 38-35, the Duke football program has come out of nowhere to secure a spot in the 2025 ACC Championship Game against No. 17 Virginia. The Blue Devils entered Saturday with just a 6-5 overall record, but with how hectic the ACC has been in 2025, the program still sat with a slight chance to make the conference title game. After Pitt's 38-7 loss to Miami, Duke's win, and SMU's loss to the Golden Bears, that was the exact formula Duke needed to sneak into the ACC Championship.
