The Duke football program missed out on a marquee opportunity to collect a victory over a ranked opponent this past weekend, as the Blue Devils fell to No. 7 Georgia Tech at home, 27-18. Now 4-3 overall and 3-1 in conference play, the Blue Devils' College Football Playoff outlook might not be as out of reach as many fans might think. Sure, Duke would've massively benefitted from a ranked victory at home, but the ACC is still very wide open. Georgia Tech, SMU, and Virginia sit as the only undefeated teams in the conference up to this point, and with a good chunk of the regular season still left to play, there's a good chance at least two of those squads lose before the end.
