College Football Playoff All-Time Team Results

Who will be the next team to be added to the list of CFP invitees?

Monday night wraps up the 2022 college football season as the College Football Playoff championship game takes place between reigning champion Georgia and Cinderella story, TCU. Can Georgia become the first team in the College Football Playoff era to repeat as national champions?

Some teams have come close but nobody has won it all two years in a row since the current system went into place starting with the 2014 season. As we’re just hours from the ninth CFP drawing to an end, why not look back at the first nine years of this system and see how all invitees have fared all-time.

Notre Dame all-time vs. each ACC football team

Do you consider any ACC team to be an actual rival of Notre Dame’s?

For 2020 Notre Dame joined the ACC for football and went unbeaten in the regular season before falling to Clemson in the conference championship game.

It was Notre Dame’s first and hopefully last year in conference play in my lifetime, regardless of what Paul Finebaum and countless others nationally hope for.

How has Notre Dame fared not just in recent years, but all-time against the ACC’s current member schools?

Here are the updated numbers through the 2022 season – one that Notre Dame continued their unbeaten streak in regular season games against the ACC.

Notre Dame all-time results versus:

Notre Dame-Ohio State: Best photos of previous meetings

Notre Dame won the first two but haven’t beat the Buckeyes since before WWII.

There are few brands bigger in college football than Notre Dame and Ohio State. They’re the standard in college football when it comes to the Midwest and right towards the top when it comes to a national perspective, too.

But for all the winning and history the two have had, they’ve barely met historically, doing so just seven times ever. In fact, until the kickoff Saturday’s epic showdown, the two will have met just as much in the Fiesta Bowl all-time as they have at Notre Dame Stadium.

Notre Dame won the first two meetings of the series way back in 1935 and 1936 but haven’t beat the Buckeyes since. Ohio State swept the home-and-home series in 1995 and 1996 and won both Fiesta Bowl meetings as well (2005, 2015). Will they sweep this home-and-home with the Irish as well?

We’ll know exactly what happens late Saturday night. But until then, enjoy some photos of the two powerhouse programs taking each other on over the years.

Notre Dame’s best players all-time from Nebraska

Notre Dame’s top players all-time from Nebraska

Before Notre Dame and USC began meeting annually the Irish (who weren’t yet known as the Irish) had quite a rivalry going with Nebraska. The two met every year from 1915-1925 with the two going an even 5-5-1 against each other.

The Irish and Cornhuskers have met just five times since 1925 as Notre Dame’s links to the Cornhusker State don’t run particularly deep.

Full disclosure, I’ve had an appreciation for Nebraska for a long time. The football team is a blue blood despite recent years, but I’m talking about the state. For a school state report in second grade I remember pulling the name of states out of a basket and my friends were getting some stellar places like New York, Florida, and California.

Meanwhile, I got Nebraska. Talk about having to work for that A…

A couple years later the assignment we had was to create a travel brochure for a state and a specific landmark we were randomly assigned. My friends were pitching the Smoky Mountains and Tennessee, the Alamo and river walk in San Antonio, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I

had the duty of pitching Chimney Rock in Nebraska as a vacation destination.

A few of those memories certainly crossed my mind when Notre Dame landed their newest recruiting commitment in the 2024 class. Linebacker Teddy Rezac of Omaha announced his decision on Friday, May 12.

For being a state that produced a powerhouse program for decades, Nebraska isn’t known for turning out worlds of high school football talent. Who are some of the biggest names to play for Notre Dame who have come through Nebraska?

Here is a short list of some of the better ones.

College Football News ranks all-time programs

Which college football program really is the GOAT?

What college football program is the greatest of all-time?

Plenty of Notre Dame fans that visited Fighting Irish Wire assuredly just said “Notre Dame” to themselves while anyone reading from the south probably uttered a “Bama” or “Roll Tide.”

Pete Fiutak of College Football News recently went through all of the Associated Press polls (dating to the 1930s) and used them as a guide to rank the top college football programs ever.

Neither Notre Dame or Alabama wound up atop the list. Neither did Ohio State nor Michigan. So who did?

Fiutak compiled the ratings for the best programs all-time by a very simple formula. He took all of the AP final rankings and used a simple scoring system: the AP national champion each season received 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

Here is how the top 10 ended up:

Notre Dame-Boston College: History of College Football’s Catholic Rivalry

For being the only two catholic schools to play FBS football, Notre Dame and Boston College’s history together isn’t a long one.

Notre Dame and Boston College are set to meet again this Saturday for what will the 27th all-time meeting between the two. Despite them being the only two catholic schools that play FBS football, the rivalry on the field between the Irish and Eagles is relatively young.

Any college football fan of a certain age can recall what happened in 1993 when Boston College ruined Notre Dame’s perfect season a week after the Irish beat No. 1 Florida State. Heck, Notre Dame fans recall when the Eagles ruined another undefeated season by upsetting the Irish in 2002, a week after Notre Dame had stunned, you guessed it, Florida State.

There is a lot more to this rivalry than just those two games, though. Here is a look back at some of the biggest moments when the two got together.

Notre Dame-Syracuse: A football history over 100 years old

They’ve only met 10 times but their history together dates back over 100 years.

Notre Dame and Syracuse is a football series that dates back over 100 years, but also one that saw breaks in it 47 years and another 40.

Notre Dame will make just their third trip to Syracuse in program history this weekend, the first taking place all the way back in 1914. Notre Dame won that one 20-0 as it concluded a 6-2 campaign for the team that was still not even known as the Fighting Irish at that point.

It’d be 47 more years until the teams met again, this one a much closer Notre Dame victory, 17-15 in the two’s first meeting at Notre Dame Stadium in 1961. Two years later the Irish made the return trip to Syracuse where they lost 14-7, and that was that for this series for 40 years.

Below are the details of the most recent results between Notre Dame and Syracuse as they prep to meet for the 11th time.

Notre Dame’s long history of dominating North Carolina

Is there any ACC team you consider to be an actual rival of Notre Dame’s?

When you think of Notre Dame rivals the obvious teams come to mind.

Southern Cal, or USC as they prefer to be called, is probably first while next would be Michigan, who has bounced on and off the Irish schedule for decades because of the general dislike between the two.

Michigan State and Purdue from the Big Ten both have incredible histories with Notre Dame as does Pitt, who have taken on Notre Dame 69 times over the years.

North Carolina might not show up on the list of great Notre Dame rivals, but believe it or not they’re one of the most frequent opponents the Irish have ever played. The two first met in 1949 and will play this Saturday for their 23rd football meeting all-time.

In those previous 22 games Notre Dame has dominated to a 20-2 record, including last season’s Halloween eve victory over Carolina that didn’t feel nearly as close as the final score indicated.

Notre Dame and North Carolina met in 12 of 14 seasons between 1949 and 1962 with the Irish taking all but the 1960 contest, a 12-7 Tar Heels victory.

The two then met four times between 1965 and 1975 with Notre Dame taking each contest, the final being a comeback which rookie (freshmen were ineligible then) quarterback by the name of [autotag]Joe Montana[/autotag] came off the bench with eight minutes to play to lead a 21-14 comeback victory despite trailing 14-6 upon entry.

As exciting as that one was it’d be the last of Notre Dame and North Carolina anyone would see for over 30 years. The two didn’t meet again until 2006 when the Irish won going away, 45-26, on a day that [autotag]Jeff Samardzija[/autotag] set the Notre Dame record for career touchdown receptions.

Notre Dame would then make the trip to North Carolina two years later and fall for just the second time to the Tar Heels, 29-24, in a game that went down to the final seconds.

Since Notre Dame’s football affair with the ACC began in 2014, the Irish and Tar Heels have met three times, all of which Notre Dame has been ranked for and ultimately won.

College Basketball: The 10 all-time most annoying Dukies

Who belongs at the top of this list and why?

College basketball officially starts nationwide tonight which means it’s a chance for all of us in this divided nation and world come together in one cause:

Hating Duke basketball.

As a kid I ate it all up. Mike Krzyzewski was a hero in my 15-year old eyes when Duke won it all in the spring of 2001, but 20 years later I’m grateful to have seen the light since and realized just how insufferable that entire program is. How Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey developed into such a likable figure after spending eight years on Krzyzewski’s bench is beyond me, but I digress.

With Krzyzewski starting his final season as Duke’s head coach this year let’s honor him by naming the 10 Most Annoying Dukies of All-Time:

Notre Dame-USC Rivalry: Biggest Villains

Who is your answer and why?

Over the last week or so I’ve exchanged several emails, messages, and had multiple conversations with Matt Zemek of Trojans Wire about not just Notre Dame and USC for 2021, but the historic side of the rivalry as well. From now until Saturday night’s kickoff I’ll share our thoughts on some questions we came up with for each other in regards to the rivalry.
