There are three wins out there for the Blue Devils in David Cutcliffe's second season — Richmond, Army and N.C. Central, although the Spiders, the defending Division I-AA champions, did beat Duke in the 2006.
The conference home dates are no bargain with Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, while road trips to Kansas and Miami are a lost cause.
Maryland, Virginia, N.C. State and UNC are all games Duke would have to win to make a bowl. With two I-AAs on the schedule, the Blue Devils have to finish 7-5. Fred Goldsmith's 1994 team can breathe easy.
Cutcliffe's looking at another 4-8 season, which for Duke isn't that bad.
