The revival of Duke football under coach David Cutcliffe has been incredible. The Blue Devils enter their matchup with Syracuse on Saturday afternoon at 7-1 and leading the ACC Coastal division. There’s a legitimate chance that Duke -- Duke! -- could be one of the four teams in college football’s first ever playoff if it can win out in the regular season and find victory in the conference title game, presumably against Florida State.

Even more surprising? Duke football has actually been better than Duke basketball recently.
Insane ESPN research fact: in its last 18 games, Duke football is 15-3, Duke basketball is 13-5.
