After a chaotic ACC Football weekend filled with upsets, the Duke football program is still in contention for the conference title despite falling to UConn 37-34. However, ESPN analyst Greg McElroy has highlighted a nightmare scenario for the ACC, one in which Duke wins, and it leaves the ACC out of the College Football Playoff entirely. Both Louisville and Virginia were victims of major upsets this weekend, falling to California and Wake Forest, respectively. Now, the top of the conference is packed with five one-loss teams in conference play. Duke currently sits at 5-4, and if it manages to make the ACC Championship Game and ultimately win it, there's a scenario where no ACC team seals a spot in the College Football Playoff.
