The rise of Duke football has been amazing but a national title is another story altogether.
Recently on the Duke Basketball Report fan forums an eager Duke football fan tried to break down the chances of this year's Duke team winning the remainder of their games and then having a chance to be in the BCS playoffs. The fan was dismissed by fellow Duke football advocates, who noted that there were plenty of one-loss teams from stronger conferences ahead of the Blue Devils so a playoff run this year isn't going to happen.
But that leads to the question - realistically what would it take for Duke football to make a run at the National Championship?
