Based in Notre Dame, Indiana, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are not members of any of the NCAA conferences. The team competes in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision level as an independent team. Nevertheless, Notre Dame is one of the most successful schools in the nation.
The team plays its home games at the Notre Dame Stadium. Notre Dame has had 102 winning seasons in 120 years of football – only 13 losing seasons in the team’s long history. They have also produced more All-Americans (96) and consensus All-Americans (79) in football than any other college football program.
The Fighting Irish have won eight wire championships, and have also claimed national championships for a total of 11 consensus national championships; in a voting discrepancy, however, the team is often credited with 13 national championships in total.
During the 2008 season, NDU finished in second place of the FCS Independents with an overall record of 7-6 and won the last game of the season against Hawaii 49-21.
