Is this the best answer to give when asked why Notre Dame has won so many football championships?

Notre Dame went 9-3 last year and all of a sudden they're a super team that's suppose to run the table...  They are without a doubt the most overrated team in the country.  They have to play Georgia Tech, Penn State, Michigan, and Michigan State the first 4 games of the year!!!  Not to even mention match ups with USC and UCLA later in the year...  Brady Quinn maybe the best in the country but that's only because of Wies's system.  JaMarcus Russell is the best QB in the country if you ask me...  Oh yeah...  and the Irish still don't have a good enough defense to win the national title this year...

Yes, absolutely. It would end the controversy over who is the champion each year. College football is the only NCAA sport that doesn't have such a championship. There might be some conflict with the Bowls but I am sure that could be worked out. Certainly, sportscasters are keen to see it happen so I think it will eventually.

I dunno, I went to the Final Four a few years ago and sat in the North Carolina section.  I have never seen a more unsportsmanlike group of fans in my life.  I will take a Notre Dame fan any day who is proud of their team and encourages them, as opposed to these North Carolina fans who yelled at opposing players, refs, and coaches and were just generally a bunch of assholes.  I ALWAYS root against them now.

It should.  It's a silly question because the answer is pure speculation.  With football/soccer, fortunes change overnight and a team that may be a guaranteed win might lose for no apparent reason.  There's no way anyone can know who will win.  Plus, the question gets asked like five times a day and enough is enough.

Ah the BCS issues again. The simplest answer is this: The only loss that notre dame has suffered this season has been to #2 michigan. In a sense, notre dame has played a perfect season since the game against michigan, that is the reason why. Arkansas may have played the tougher schedule, but they lost to USC. Arkansas has only had 2 big wins this entire season - tenesse and auburn. Notre Dame has only had 2 as well, but in the end it all comes down to one thing- The terrible BCS system. If you ask me, Arkansas is number 4 in the country, but hey, what do i know?

No, ND'S is a long way from being a Big 10 team. They did dominate in NCAA Div 2, but they are going to have a much harder time of it as a NCAA Div 1 team. Notre Dame would be a much better candidate for the Big 10.

This answer may depend on the spectrum of your question.  That is, are you asking which team has been the best throughout history, which has been the best recently, or which will be the best next year.  Let's answer all three possible questions...\n\nHISTORICALLY: Miami Hurricanes\nFive National Titles, 17 bowl victories, 66 All-Americans, Two Heisman Trophies, and three Maxwell Award winners.  They also finished in the TOP THREE of the polls for seven straight years in the eighties and nineties.  (FSU comes in second here with their Two National Titles.  Also, from 1987 to 2000 the 'Noles finished in the top five in the polls at the end of the year.  That's 14 seasons at the top!).  Florida hasn't historically been that great, although they were pretty good in the nineties, and got their only National Championship in 1996\n\nRECENTLY: Miami Hurricanes\nBoth the Gators and the 'Noles have gone 42-20 in the past five seasons.  During that same stretch (2001-2005), the Canes were 53-9.  Miami beat FSU 4 of those 5 years; Miami beat Florida all 3 times that they played in the past five seasons; Florida beat FSU 3 of those 5 years.\n\nNEXT YEAR: Who Knows!?!?\nFlorida might be the easy pick, but they have a REALLY tough schedule.  Florida State was rebuilding last year, and still went to the BCS.  Miami is coming off of two 9-3 seasons, but has a favorable schedule.  This year is going to be great!\n\nHope that this helps!  I really try to look at facts rather than letting emotion and loyalty cloud the response.  For the record, I don't root for any of the three teams.

It will work itself out this weekend after Notre Dame demolishes USC. I am very tired of people telling me that Notre Dame has not beaten anyone good this year. So this means that Georgia Tech (9-2), Penn St. (8-4), and Purdue (8-4) are bad teams? I don't think so! Notre Dame should get their chance at Ohio St.

LSU with two losses get over it thats like me saying that Notre Dame is when there are still undefeated teams out there.  Get off the high horse I had to.

If Troy Smith improves his numbers, which he will, because he will play every game next season, he will at least be a leading candidate for the Heisman. He will have to win all of his games because we all know Notre Dame players seem to get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the Heisman (i.e. Brady Quinn wont have to win all his games to be able to win it). Smith has a great chance if he wins at Texas and runs the table in the Big Ten, meaning beat Michigan, then I think he will be top 3 giving him a chance. I am a Michigan fan, but I like to see the Big Ten do well no matter what. So for me, seeing a really good player in Smith winning the Heisman would be alright. He has killed Michigan lol, we know all about his skills.

There has never been a school prior to The Ohio State that was atop both sports while in-season.\n\nHowever, the 1973 football season ended with Notre Dame AP #1 and from 1/22/74 to 1/28/74, Notre Dame was #1 in the AP basketball poll after ending UCLA's 88-game winning streak on 1/18/74.

He has one Undisputed National Championship. Is this a legitimate question? He has under 100 wins.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and i will give a list of reasons:\nThe traditions and stuff like Touchdown Jesus are all great but if they go 7-4 or 6-5 it's like they are going 2-9 or 1-10. It's outrageous. Second, their alumni are so damn cocky! For god's sake: just get over it. You went to Notre Dame. YOU WEREN'T EVEN ON THE TEAM! They treat football like it's a religion and the team like it's a team, not a college. This pisses me off to the extreme! These guys are student-atheletes, and they're supposed to be supermen. The whole Notre Dame crud is really summed up by the movie RUDY. The kid got in one frickin' play. He's all of a sudden a superhero because he played for Notre Dame. WHAT ABOUT HIS CLASSES. I'm out\n\nthomas, destroyer of worlds

They're a dynasty.  Granted, in these times of team parity, where free agents go to where the money is and where they feel they can contribute the most, teams always have a different makeup as far as the roster goes.  The best teams, nowadays, are the ones who can consistently win.  The Patriots have shown that they are one of these teams.  While arguments could be made for Pittsburgh and other winners in recent years, one simply has to remember that New England has won 3 titles in the past 5 years.  That in itself is a remarkable feat - and worthy of NE being deemed a dynasty in light of the current ebb and flow of players in today's league.
