No. 9: Duke Blue Devils

While Duke may be relatively high in the ACC standings, its overall record stands at just 5-5, with no particularly impressive wins. Not to mention that they got pushed around on their own home field by Virginia.

Virginia led 31-3 at one point during this game, and Duke just made it look respectable by scoring the last 14 points of the game. Not to mention that Duke also lost to UConn two weeks ago. Manny Diaz's Duke team has been the epitome of a Manny Diaz-coached team: painfully average.

The Blue Devils' ACC Championship dreams are officially over, and now the craziest College Football Playoff scenario is gone.
