BCS Championship Game 2013 -- Alabama 42, Notre Dame 14: The Streak Might Belong to the SEC, But the Dynasty Belongs to the Tide

With that being mostly true, it's clear that Alabama is a completely different class of team than what Notre Dame has faced before. The Fighting Irish were battle tested by some close games and faced good teams like Stanford and Oklahoma. None of them have the size and speed that Bama does, and Notre Dame is simply shell shocked.
