SMU collapse fuels Duke football's shocking ACC Championship Game run

Well, somehow. Some way. The Duke football program, sitting with a 7-5 overall record and a 6-2 record in conference play, will face off against Virginia in the 2025 ACC Championship Game. There were a few scenarios where, if one occurred, there would be a six-way tie at the top of the conference, each team with two losses. After SMU completely folded on Saturday night against a now 7-5 California team, falling 38-35, the Blue Devils will take the Mustangs' spot in the conference title game. If Virginia and SMU both won on Saturday, that would set up the ACC Championship.
