Rivalries & Top Games to Attend
Victory Bell
Rival Team: UNC Tar Heels
The Duke-North Carolina rivalry is one of the fiercest rivalries in college sports. While the rivalry on the basketball court may get the most publicity, there is still a healthy rivalry between these two schools on the gridiron. The two schools first played each other in 1888 when the Blue Devils shutout the Tar Heels 16-0. The rivalry had grown since then and saw the addition of a rivalry trophy in 1948 when the two schools began playing for the Victory Bell. Carolina holds the all-time series lead 43-22-1, but the Blue Devils will look to narrow the gap when the two teams meet this season.
Duke vs Wake Forest

Rival Team: NC State Wolfpack
The Blue Devils have a narrow 40-36-5 edge over the instate rival Wolfpack. Duke will hope to extend their lead over these Tobacco Road foes when the teams meet next.
