This is a tough one. I am starting with Notre Dame, but we'll see who can convince me more. Right now, I am a little more sold on Notre Dame.

SC has more conference championships

This is a tough one but IMO there's no team more "storied" than ND. Now I'll let you all nitpick which stories count and which ones do not.

 

[Codaxx]

I have ND. There is no bigger name in college football. They made a movie about ND walk-on with 1 career tackle

Well there was a big story about a USC Heisman winner at 1 time.

 

[pennstatenut]

Yep. Made a movie about a Bama player too.

Yep. Made a movie about a Bama player too.

I have it on good authority that he was a god damn genius and likely would have made general some day in the military if it hadn't been such a waste of an enlisted man.

 

[trojanfan12]

Voted ND. Threw up a little in my mouth doing so.

I said they were the most storied program on another thread, not gonna be a hypocrite.

You have Hal Moore. That's tough to top.

You guys have way more respect for ND than I do, I'll say that much.

I've always known them as the lame school with media/religious bias.

 

[fishinabarrel]

This will be the closest one for ND yet, but in my opinion ND is just the biggest name in CFB.

 

[nddulac]

SC has more conference championships

And they have six times as many times on NCAA probation!

It's not a most respected program thread. It's most storied. I hate the fucking Domers, but it's the most storied program.

You know them as 5-2 against Bama also.
