3-8 vs top 10 teams under Brian Kelly, 1-17 against top 5 teams since 2000. Hard to make an argument they are a top program IMHO.
I was brought up to be a ND fan throughout the 70s and 80s. My Dad said they did things the right way. I was also raised catholic.
Let just say I learned along the way that was a myth, along with their schedule, and they also don't get top talent like they did when Holtz was there.
