Reply to comment by SnortingCoffee in [OC] - Which College Football Programs have been the Most Successful? by jonesjeffum
Use of "successful", I suppose.
Notre Dame is 7-15 in their last 22 bowl games.

Not arguing with the data, but the qualification of the data.

Its giving them credit for placing high rather than just winning championships. A team that gets 4th 30 times in a row is likely better than one that gets 1st once and then never hits the top 12 again.

They're still the third most successful college football program of all time, as shown in this graph.

Ali has been retired for ages. He's not out there getting his ass kicked year in year out like Notre Dame is. Totally irrelevant comparison.

Nobody is saying notre dame is the most successful program of the past 30 years.
