five teams tied at 6-2 in conference, and then since most of them didn't play each other (because there's 17 teams and only 8 conference games) the deciding tiebreaker was that Duke's 8 opponents had a slightly better overall record vs. the 8 teams the other 4 6-2 teams played (i.e. harder schedule)

per Wiki, in the NFL they're in line with the goal posts (18 feet 6 inches apart), while in college they're 40 feet apart

(personally i like the rugby rule that on conversions you should kick from in line with wherever the ball was downed in the end zone)
