262 wins, one BCS national title game, 3 playoff berths
More recently, ND is 23-4 the last two seasons, 33-7 the last three seasons, 53-13 the past five seasons and 100-29 in the last ten.
But....none of this matters. It is the totality of ND's history that matters. Few, if any, can match it.
ND didn't get its status from nothing, but from everything, the totality of it all.
