No. 7 seed Notre Dame ( 12-1 ) meets No. 2 Georgia ( 11-2 ) in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal hosted by the Sugar Bowl .

The streak spans 31 years , 10 major bowl games, eight different opponents and six Notre Dame head coaches.

The last time Notre Dame won a major bowl game was in 1993 .

The 31-year skid can be explained in a single word: talent.

The quality of student-athlete you are getting is not the same as everywhere else.

Notre Dame’s notoriously rigid admissions process — with both high school and transfer prospects — is a long-running issue.

The school seems to be adjusting just fine to the new world.

Notre Dame has a bowl losing streak of six straight games.

It's the longest since 1994 Fiesta Bowl Colorado ( 41 -24) Florida State ( 31-26 ) in the Orange Bowl Florida State in 1995 .

In 2005 Fiesta Bowl Ohio State beat Ohio State ( 34-20 ) 2006 Sugar Bowl LSU in the Sugar Bowl .
