National Championships
* Notre Dame has won 11 wire (AP or Coaches) national championships, more than any other Division I-A school.
* Notre Dame claims national championships in an additional 3 seasons, for a total of 11 consensus national championships. Notre Dame, however, is often credited with 12 national championships in total. The 1953 season is the reason for the discrepancy. That season, an undefeated Notre Dame team (9-0-1) was named national champion by every major selector except the AP and UPI (Coaches) polls, where the Irish finished second in both to 10-1 Maryland. As Notre Dame has a policy of only recognizing AP and Coaches Poll national championships post-1936, the school does not officially recognize the 1953 national championship.[1][2]
* Notre Dame has been named "national champion" by at least one selector in an additional 9 seasons (1919, 1920, 1927, 1938, 1964, 1967, 1970, 1989).

First of all let me say I'm not a Notre Dame fan. As a matter of fact I have an extreme dislike for them (I try not to hate anything or anybody). But I am a fan of college football and so I will admit that they have won more recognized national championships (12) than any other division 1a team. I'm a Bama fan and we are second with 11. But if ND doesn't want that 53 championship then maybe we are tied. Just joking. Seriously though I think any team should be honored to be selected as the best. Bama was selected 14 other times as the best team in the country (in addition to the 11 recognized national championships). And as a Crimson Tide fan I'm proud of all 25. No team is chosen the best if they have 2 or 3 losses so each team seleced was a good team. Say Brooklyn92 are you really a ND fan? Five championships? And they only played in the Rose Bowl once (1925 they beat Stanford 27 to 10). It's pretty bad when a Bama fan knows more about your team than you. Just pulling your chain. If you are an ND fan good for you. After all is said and done it's still American football. The best in the world no matter who you root for.

0! Since you don't play for it the didn't win any. The NCAA doesnt give out Championships in I-A Football. The United Press, or the Coaches Poll both give out Championships, as well as a few others.
