2 Teams since the start of the Associated Press poll in 1936 to win four national titles over a seven‑year period. Notre Dame was the first to achieve it from 1943‑49, capturing the No. 1 ranking in 1943, 1946, 1947 and 1949. Alabama became the second from 2009‑15, finishing at the top in 2009, 2011, 2012 and now 2015. Notre Dame's overall record during those seven years was 60‑5‑3 (.904 winning percentage), while Alabama was 86‑10 (.896). 4-1 Record by Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey against former mentor and five‑time national champion Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski since joining the ACC in 2013‑14. The Fighting Irish won in Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first time — 95‑91 Jan. 16 — in eight tries. Krzyzewski has a 21‑4 all‑time record against former assistants, with all four defeats coming versus Brey. 5 Players Notre Dame has to replace in 2016 who had one more year of eligibility available but left for the NFL. Three were actually seniors — offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, running back C.J. Prosise and cornerback KeiVarare Russell — while the other two were juniors — linebacker Jaylon Smith and wide receiver Will Fuller. CBS Sports had the Fighting Irish as the fourth‑most affected team this year by departures with eligibility remaining. Ohio State was No. 1 with nine, while Clemson had seven and No. 3 UCLA had five like the Irish. 8/1 Odds placed by longtime USA Today handicapper Danny Sheridan on Notre Dame junior quarterback Malik Zaire winning the Heisman Trophy in 2016. The only three players listed ahead of him are LSU running back Leonard Fournette (2/1), while Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey and Clemson quar‑ terback Deshaun Watson — who finished second and third, re‑ spectively, in 2015 — are both 3/1. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, who finished fourth in 2015, is also 8/1. Zaire has three career starts at Notre Dame. 8.57 Billion dollar endowment for the University of Notre Dame in the most recent fiscal year that was released in February, per the NACUBO Commonfund Study of Endowments.
