...and #19 Clemson. 1988...ND beat #2 Miami, #4 Michigan, #5 West Virginia and #7 USC. 1989 when ND finished #2 they beat #1 Colorado, #7 Michigan, #8 USC, #15 Penn State, #16 Michigan State, #17 Pitt and #18 Virginia.

The best though was Leahy's 1943 national championship team. They only beat #2 Iowa Pre-Flight (a WWII semi-pro outfit), #3 Michigan, #4 Navy, #9 Northwestern, #11 Army and #13 Georgia Tech.

Thanks to Lou Somogyi of Blue & Gold Illustrated for the above.
