It's safe to say that any season you don't reach the postseason is a disappointment.
However, in a sport where you need six wins to reach a bowl game and you win four of your first six and still don't make the postseason, it's that much more of a disappointment.
The bowl game dreams officially ended for the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday night as the Blue Devils fell to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Saturday marked the fifth straight loss for Duke and entering the season many college football experts did not peg the Blue Devils to reach the postseason but after its hot start, Duke turned many of the doubters into believers.
