Duquesne favored by 8.5 but are up 21 in the 4th vs Bobby Mo! Last edited by coffee (11/09/2024 2:16 pm) What a great win. Let’s finish the season strong. 31-6 is the final. 4 TD's for Perrantes. Defense played "Meet You at The Quarterback" most of the second half. Finished the game with 7 sacks. Were probably 4 or 5 times where the QB had to throw the ball at someone's feet to avoid more sacks. Watching the polls… North Dakota (23) and William & Mary (21) both lost. So did Central Arkansas (19). Last edited by Face (11/09/2024 6:43 pm) Watching the polls… North Dakota (23) and William & Mary (21) both lost. So did Central Arkansas (19). Last edited by coffee (11/10/2024 10:16 am) Highest the Dukes ever got in an FCS Poll was #17. Keep climbing Dukes!! I know the Dukes won the Massey poll in 1941. That team did it just like this one is, with defense. The Iron Dukes led the country in defense and shut out more opponents than scored on them. The Dukes wisely do not claim a national championship for the season, as the schedule was very easy. Alabama does claim to be national champs in that season however, despite losing two games including one to Mississippi State, who the Dukes beat. I'd guess the highest ever AP ranking for the Dukes would be after that season concluding win over the SEC champion Bulldogs, but don't know how high it was other than top 10. Seasons Ranked Last edited by coffee (11/10/2024 2:52 pm) Dukes up to 22 on STATS. Other poll isn’t updated yet. Last edited by Face (11/11/2024 12:04 pm) So do we cheer for RMU now to beat CConn? I think that would give us the conference title, unless we lose our last 2 games. If CConn beats RMU, then the last week in CT would be for all the marbles, correct?

Bonus trivia questions- What was the highest ranking the Dukes ever had in the AP Coach’s National Ranking Poll?
What Major Ranking placed the Dukes #1 in the Nation?
This is not the Club or Mid-Major ranking- Talking in all of college football.

That is my read on it. We can blow away the conference and still lose the head to head with the same record. It’s happened before to the Dukes

- Duquesne beats Wagner
- RMU Beats CConn
In this scenario - Dukes could lose to CConn in the last weekend and RMU wins their last game - they would have the same conf. record, with Duquesne owning the H2H tiebreaker.
Of course, the easiest thing to do is just win the rest and leave nothing to chance...
Go Dukes!
