The Duke Blue Devils have found some incredible form on the gridiron over the last three seasons, winning at least eight games in every campaign despite an offseason coaching change. However, the performance in Durham looks even more impressive when compared to the team’s peers around the conference.
Since the start of the 2022 season, Duke has won 26 games, tied for the second-most of any ACC team. In fact, because of an additional loss by the Louisville Cardinals (albeit in last year’s conference championship game), the Blue Devils have the second-best win percentage among the 14 traditional ACC teams in that period.
Duke has an overall win percentage of 68.4% in this recent run. Only the Clemson Tigers (74.4%) have been better, and only five total ACC programs have won more than 60% of their contests in the last three seasons. Even the Florida State Seminoles (64.1%) dropped below the Blue Devils thanks to a stunning 2-10 campaign in 2024.
Even just in conference games, Duke is one of four ACC teams with a .500 record or better in each of the last three seasons. Only Clemson (19-5) and Louisville (16-8) have been better than the Blue Devils’ 14-10 record against conference opponents.
