The Duke football program capped off a miraculous season on Saturday night with a 27-20 overtime victory over No. 16 Virginia in the 2025 ACC Football Championship Game. This was the first ACC title game appearance for the Blue Devils since 2013, and marks the first conference title victory for the program since 1989.

However, it's not that simple.
