The Duke football program, against all odds, will face off against No. 17 Virginia in the 2025 ACC Championship Game next weekend on December 6th. Despite finishing the regular season with just a 7-5 overall record, the Blue Devils snuck into the conference title game after Pitt's 38-7 loss to No. 13 Miami, the Blue Devils' 49-32 win over Wake Forest, and SMU's collapse against California, which resulted in a 38-35 loss.
