The Dukes, who received eight votes in the Stats Perform poll and seven in the coaches' poll, are represented in the national preseason polls for the first time since 2018.
Duquesne, the preseason favorite in the Northeast Conference, is coming off its sixth NEC title and third FCS playoff appearance in program history in 2023.
