The Duke Blue Devils picked up their sixth win of the season on Friday night, defeating the Florida State Seminoles for the first time in 23 meetings, but the ESPN Football Power Index remains pessimistic about the team in Durham.
ESPN Analytics updated their FPI rankings on Sunday, and Duke actually dropped one spot to 64th in the country.
Of the 25 FBS teams with at least six victories so far this season, only two (Navy and Louisiana) sit lower than the Blue Devils.
The Seminoles, now 1-6 for the season, also dropped one spot, but FSU only fell to 68th. In fact, the 1-6 Mississippi State Bulldogs rank four spots higher than Duke, making them one of 10 teams with a losing record higher than 64th.
The undefeated Miami Hurricanes, who moved up to fifth in the US LBM Coaches Poll after their 52-45 victory over the Louisville Cardinals remained 10th in the national FPI rankings. With the Clemson Tigers up to 13th after a sixth straight win, the top of the ACC is narrowing fast.
