DURHAM – For the first time since 2018, Duke football entered the Top-25 national polls after recording its first ranked win since 2016.
The Blue Devils were tabbed No. 21 in the Associated Press poll and No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches poll.
Duke is coming off a 28-7 victory over No. 9 Clemson on Labor Day in which the Blue Devils shut out the Tigers in the second half to claim the program's first win over an AP top-10 team since 1989. Additionally, the win snapped Clemson's 12-game winning streak in ACC play.
