How They Compare

I heard some idiot this weekend at the Phillies game spout off about Notre Dame and how PSU has not been in the title chase for a LONG time. Needless to say, with that statement right there, the guy is instantly labeled a moron seeing in 2005 PSU finished #3 overall with 1 loss in the last second of the game.

I have since found this information to directly compare the success of Penn State to Notre Dame. There are a lot of us out there in PA that have to deal with Notre Dame fans thinking they are a much more dominant football program. These numbers are from 1990 to the present. Numbers don't lie, so next time you have a Notre Dame fan that spouts without knowing the facts, tell them to reference this chart.
