Most wins last 50 years - Power 5

Interesting stat on ND'S EXISTENTIAL ARC.
ND once had the #1 winning percentage in CFB, and I'm GUESSING that it may have had the most wins, PERIOD, going into the 1950 season.
But over the last 50 years -- which would mean the very end of Ara's career and one year removed from his second NC team of 73 till now -- ND has slipped to 16th -- as per games won during that period.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
AND HOW MANY FEEL ND WILL RETAKE THE NUMBER ONE SPOT AT SOME POINT?
ANYONE?
THAT SHIP HAS SAILED.
Like that of FIFTH CENTURY BC ATHENS and SECOND CENTURY ROME, ND'S DOMINANCE IS SOLIDLY ENSCONCED IN HISTORY. AND AS SACRED TO SOME AS THAT ACCOMPLISHMENT MAY BE, IT'S NOW MERELY AN ARTIFACT -- FAST ON ITS WAY TO A FOOTNOTE.
Does anyone remember -- LET ALONE CARE -- that Minnesota won THREE SUCCESSIVE TITLES in the 30's and was the dominant team of that era? Or that NO TEAM has done it since?
And to think that ND SCUTTLED ITS PROGRAM.
HEISBURGH GOT HIS WAY, did he not?
Football factories will win more. I guess that newsflash escapes you
EXACTLY. A number of those programs supposedly ahead of ND undoubtedly did things that should have cost them games as well. Notre Dame should have told the NCAA to stick it where the sun does not shine and then if the NCAA tried anything else take them to Federal Court. And expose its corruption. BUT Notre Dames administration showed yellow
Sure, there are ways you can shade it. But I don't think any of them would result in a MATERIAL DIFFERENCE.
Big 10 and SEC schedules aren't CAKEWALKS and never have been. The same was true of the old Southwest Conference, the various predecessors to today's Big 12, and what was once known as EASTERN INDEPENDENTS: PSU, Syracuse, Pitt, West Virginia, etc.
The stat I WOULD LIKE TO SEE is ND's record against every team on that list RANKED ABOVE IT.
If I find the time, I'll COMPILE IT.

It tells me you didn’t do any research on the subject as the OP excluded the vacated wins. Two peas in a pod
Save you some time. Since 1973:
ND is 2-1 versus Okie
ND is 0-5 versus OSU
ND is 5-3 versus Bama
ND is 0-3 versus UGA
ND is 7-5 against LSU
ND is 0-3 against Nebraska
ND is 4-1 against Texas
ND is 6-2 versus BYU
ND is 6-9 against Pedo and 16-16-1 against Mich
ND is 1-0 against Florida and 1-3 against Clemson
ND is 14-7 against Miami and 5-6 against FSU
ND is 25-22- 1 against USC
We haven’t played Auburn
Now if you want want to do something meaningful, do the same for PSU, Mich, Nebraska, FSU and some others and see how their schedules compare
There is no such thing as a vacated win, it exists only between some sets of ears.
What is the point of this post?
We’ve been to a title game and two college football playoff births in the last 10 years.
We’re fine.

Since 2014 when the 4-team CFB Playoff started, 7 teams have qualified at least twice.
Notre Dame is one of them.
That stat does not fit certain poster's narrative.

If the subject was "total TDs scored", would you expect him to include TD's that were negated due to a penalty on the play? Same thing.
.In your tiny little mind maybe. To anyone with a brain, no.
Lol. Bullshit. It’s not the same thing. Not close. It was a post intending to be intellectually dishonest. You should try it. And Read up on the Mexican border as well
It is the same.
You used an ineligible player. When the NCAA notices, that results 100% of the time in vacated wins.
Just like if a ref notices an offensive penalty, a TD will be overturned.
If you want to change the official win/loss record, might as well have ND as undefeated. I will stick with the official count.
So what you are saying is that ND is more of a football factory than A&M, Auburn, Ole Miss, Arizona State, etc? Interesting...
So are ostriches your first cousins? Fraud and corruption everywhere but elections are pristine?
You seem to think more wins than ND = more of a football factory.
If that is true, by that reasoning, fewer wins than ND = less of a football factory.
Lol. Good for you! It’s fully meaningless if you are aware of the story. But I expect not.
And if that was the criteria you are so beholden, then most of the teams should have less wins
OK, I will play. Which teams used illegal players and the NCAA did not in turn vacate wins?
Ivan is obsessed w/ the Irish. Has been since, well, the Davie years. His words, not mine. Can’t imagine visiting the Michigan board, but he’s been here since the 90s. Lol. Get a life, Ivan, no matter how much you visit & pot shot, Michigan will never be regarded as highly as ND by the regular college football fan. Get over it.
Obsessed is your word, not mine.
And we are regarded more highly as of today. Look at the rankings for confirmation.
Lol. Do your own research. That seems to be a common theme with you, being uneducated on subjects you talk about …like illegals
Appreciate the background. Just recently have noticed his posts and how they are rinse and repeat ticker headlines.
