For too long, the University of Notre Dame has played by a higher set of standards than the rest of college football. Programs like Alabama and Auburn will claim any random national title that they can fabricate. While Notre Dame technically holds 21 national championships, if we are including co-titles (like every other school in America), when the College Football Playoff Committee finally ruled that “head to head” is the most important criteria, the Fighting Irish must include their 1993 national title.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were #2 and beat #1 Florida State in South Bend 31–24.
