DURHAM, N.C. (AP) β It’s a sign of how far Duke’s program has come that reaching bowl eligibility has become almost an afterthought.
Beating Virginia again, however, would mean so much more to the Blue Devils than just a sixth victory.
The early inside track to the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division title is at stake Saturday when the Blue Devils and Cavaliers renew a rivalry that has been one-sided lately.
Virginia (4-2, 2-0) is the only Coastal team undefeated in ACC play. A win by the Blue Devils (5-1, 1-1) would create a four-team tie for first and give them head-to-head tiebreakers over two of them.
Duke is also trying to reach the six-win mark for the third straight year.
