Because none of this makes the Notre Dame football program better on the field in and beyond. Still, any title debated that dates before feels like a barbershop battle, and no one really wins in those. The BCS helped set the College Football Playoff in motion, and even with computers and other pollsters still putting out their own rankings each year, no one other than the UCF Knights have disputed the results — and no one wants to join UCF in their bullshit.
Well speaking of UCF and their bullshit, the Notre Dame team could also claim a national championship. The Colley Index ranked UCF the national champion in also a year that Alabama won the title and the same ranking system ranked the Irish 1 in Hell, you might even get physically beat up by Irish fans for saying it.

To this day, Atcheson defends claiming College football only had five major bowl games in But you see that today with champions that have one or two losses. You have to study it quite a bit and realize there were other good teams that didn't even play in a bowl game. Alabama and Notre Dame each claim national titles from seasons in Notre Dame was ranked No.
Alabama was named No. The Crimson Tide benefitted with titles in and because some polls at the time decided champions before bowl games. AP media members picked their champion before bowls from to '64 and '66 to ' UPI and its roster of coaches did the same from until , ending the practice after the split national championship by Alabama and Notre Dame in Another factor when counting Alabama and Notre Dame titles: Notre Dame didn't go to bowl games from through That was due in part to academic schedules and bowls playing no bearing on the national title.
There is one season in which Notre Dame doesn't count a national title that is recognized by the NCAA as a consensus championship. Roger Valdiserri, the former longtime Notre Dame sports information director, said he thinks each schools' fans believe the titles claimed in their respective media guides.
If only college football was that simple. There's no room for debate. Arguments have been at the heart of college football since it began. This is the sport, after all, that didn't begin staging a championship game until its th year. If every poll system ever used since the birth of college football was the standard for counting national titles, neither Alabama nor Notre Dame could claim to have the most.
Princeton has 28 and Yale has 27 using that measuring stick.
