Recent National Championship Games
Since college football shifted to a true national championship game, Notre Dame has only one national championship appearance.
That came in the 2012 season when the previously undefeated Irish were defeated by No. 2 Alabama, 42-14. The Crimson Tide took a 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the game and led 28-0 at halftime. They outgained Notre Dame 529 to 302 yards.
This will be Notre Dame's first national championship appearance since the implementation of the College Football Playoff, though they made the semifinals twice before. In 2018, the Irish lost to Clemson, 30-3. Then, in 2020, Alabama defeated Notre Dame, 31-14.
