Duke sent the College Football Playoff<\/a> picture into uncertainty with a stunning overtime win on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Blue Devils<\/a> won their first outright ACC championship since 1962 with a 27-20 victory over Virginia.<\/p>\n

Duke quarterback Darian Mensah connected with tight end Jeremiah Hasley for a 1-yard touchdown on a fourth-down play in overtime, in what would be the deciding score.<\/p>\n

Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris was intercepted by Duke’s Luke Mergott on the Cavaliers\u2019 first offensive play of overtime.<\/p>\n

Duke last won a share of the ACC regular-season title in 1989, sharing it with Virginia in Steve Spurrier\u2019s final season as the Blue Devils\u2019 coach. The conference championship game was created in 2005, and Duke got there this year thanks to a five-team tiebreaker.<\/p>\n

Virginia, the ACC regular-season champion, would have reached the CFP for the first time in school history with a victory. While Duke is still unlikely to make the playoff field, the win opens the door for a second Group of Five team \u2014 likely James Madison \u2014 to sneak in.<\/p>\n

JMU alums Ben Overby and James Turner were even at the game to support Duke.<\/p>\n

“Nothing against UVA,” Turner said excitedly, “but we\u2019re just here to support Duke.”<\/p>\n

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips argued this week that\u00a0his league deserved two bids: one for No. 12 Miami as the league\u2019s highest-ranked team, the other for the Duke-Virginia winner as the league\u2019s champion.<\/p>\n
