As many of you are well aware, we at One Foot Down fully recognize Notre Dame’s 21 national championships in college football. For the uninitiated — that 11 number you’ve been bouncing around is far too low and far too inaccurate.
For the record, the 21 national championships are 1919, 1920, 1924, 1927, 1929, 1930, 1938, 1943, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1953, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1970, 1973, 1977, 1988, 1989, and 1993.
Notre Dame claims 11 Consensus National Championships and publicly promotes those — but they also claim 10 others as “co-national championships.
