It's Manny Diaz's first season as the Duke Blue Devils head coach, and he has already proven he has what it takes to boost Duke's football program to the next level. The Blue Devils are on an impressive 5-1 run in the first half of the season, and their path ahead looks promising.
They started with five consecutive wins but recently suffered their first loss to Georgia Tech in Week 6, falling 24-14. Now, all eyes are on how they perform in their upcoming matchups. With that in mind, let's look at when they play next.
Do the Duke Blue Devils play today?
No, the Blue Devils won’t play today, as they have an open week in Week 7. They will be back in action next week when they welcome Florida State to their home turf at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, October 18.
Can the Duke Blue Devils make it to the college football playoff this season?
The Duke Blue Devils are set to face their conference rivals, the Florida State Seminoles and NC State, in the next few games. Both programs were seen as serious contenders in the preseason, but they seem to have already fallen behind in the playoff race. While the Seminoles have a disappointing 1-5 record, NC State sits at 3-3.
However, the bigger challenge for Duke will be playing No. 25 SMU (5-1) and No. 6 Miami FL (6-0). If they manage to win against these two teams, they could enter the College Football Playoff conversation.
But, following last week's loss, there are concerns about whether they can continue their early-season momentum. Nonetheless, the week off should give them time to regroup and bounce back.
