This is a list of seasons completed by the Duke Blue Devils football team. Representing Duke University, the Blue Devils compete in the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference in the NCAA Division I FBS. Since 1929, Duke has played their home games out of Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina. The Blue Devils began playing football as an independent in 1888, though the school did not field a team from 1895 to 1919. In 1930, the program joined the Southern Conference, where they captured nine conference titles in 22 years. The Blue Devils joined the ACC as a charter member in 1953, and have competed in the conference ever since.[1]

Duke's primary rival is the North Carolina Tar Heels. The series dates back to 1888, and has been played annually since 1922. The teams compete for the Victory Bell. As of the 2018 season, North Carolina holds a 59–39–4 lead in the series.

Notes

  1. ↑ Duke also won a share of the 1965 ACC Championship on the field, finishing tied for first with South Carolina (who they defeated) at 4–2. However, the Gamecocks were stripped of all of their league wins after it emerged they had used two ineligible players. This elevated NC State and Clemson (both of whom had lost to South Carolina) to 5–2 in the standings, ahead of 4–2 Duke. While Duke still claims the 1965 conference title, the ACC does not recognize it.
  2. 1 2 3 The team was led by head coach Carl Franks, who was fired during the season and replaced by interim head coach, Ted Roof. Duke won two of the last three games of the season under Roof earning him the full-time coaching position.
