Duke

Duke has only made 15 appearances in UCFC games, and the Blue Devils have a record of 9-6. Seven of Duke's victories came during a single run as champion in 1944 and 1945. Duke didn't capture the title again until 1974, when they played a pretty mediocre Purdue team that had just won the UCFC title in a rivalry upset over 1973 national champion Notre Dame. Duke had a pretty good team that year (it finished 6-5), and the Blue Devils knocked off Purdue in Durham by the score of 16-14. Duke kept the title one more week with a 33-14 win over Army. But the next week they traveled to Clemson, and they lost the title by the score of 17-14.

They've never gotten it back. In fact, Duke has only played in one UCFC game since 1974 -- they were blown out by Florida State 51-23 on October 2, 1999. That Florida State team went on to win the national title.
