Why the Duke Blue Devils Will Make the College Football Playoff

The Duke Blue Devils are contending for a College Football Playoff berth in 2025–26 by building on the success of head coach Manny Diaz’s first season. The team features a highly ranked recruiting class, an aggressive defense, and quarterback Darian Mensah leading the offense. Improvements in the rushing attack, paired with Mensah’s dual-threat ability, have opened up the offense for bigger plays, and now the Blue Devils are heading to the ACC Championship.

Why the Duke Blue Devils Will Miss the Playoffs

Duke can possibly make the CFP with a win over No. 17 Virginia in the ACC Championship on December 6. The Blue Devils enter the game as 4-point underdogs. If they fall short of a victory, they’ll miss the playoffs. Still, with seven wins, they are bowl eligible.

Duke Blue Devils History in the College Football Playoff

Duke has yet to make the College Football Playoff since its inception in 2014. However, the Blue Devils are on a three-game bowl streak, appearing in the Gator Bowl in 2024, the Birmingham Bowl in 2023, and the Military Bowl in 2022. Last season, Duke won nine games, the second-most in program history.

Duke's bowl game history is littered with tertiary bowl games, sans the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2013, for the last nearly 60 years. The Blue Devils last made a bowl game that would be considered a "major bowl game" in 1958 when they played the Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl, a game they lost 48-21.
