Notre Dame may be down but it is a way better situation than Cincinatti and with him coaching they probably beat the Bearcats by a TD or two.

Yes this is a great point, but with that national recruiting base comes a program with a higher academic standard. It will always be harder to convince these kids to come to a school where they not only have to worry about football, but also need to go to class in order to remain academically eligible.
Also in terms of competing for the national championship every year, yeah if they go undefeated they are for sure in the NC, but they also usually play tougher teams during the year than Cincinatti. And this year featured a lot of undefeated teams, had one more team lost this year, Cincinatti could very possibly be playing for a NC this year.
