13 Blue Devils selected for the team, the most of any ACC school. Syracuse had nine selections on the team followed by Pitt (8), Wake Forest (6), Miami (5) and NC State (5).

Winning with real student-athletes... huge props to Cut and company!

Congratulations Blue Devils!!!!!

Hard not to note that, by way of contrast, that football factory 8 miles down the road had only 4 players make the All Academic team. And as maintaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA is one of the criteria, interestingly none of their 4 players were Juniors or Seniors (to be fair, 2 are Redshirt Sophomores, but why be fair ;0). Of Duke's 13, 4 are Seniors and 7 are Juniors or Redshirt Sophomores. Just sayin'.

Go Devils (on the field and in the classroom)!!!!! GTHCGTH!!!

P.S. I'd be very interested to see how UNC's numbers have changed since, say, oh I don't know, 2009?
