Go through the schedule. For every team ND has played, Bama has played a better team.

So far -

Alabama Notre Dame

Michigan Navy
Western Kentucky Purdue
@Arkansas @Michigan State
Florida Atlantic Michigan
Ole Miss Miami
@Missouri Stanford
@Tennessee BYU
Mississippi State @Oklahoma
@LSU Pittsburgh
Texas A&M @Boston College

I'd say that the toughest game for Bama was at LSU. The toughest game for Notre Dame was at Oklahoma. In my mind a wash, but I'll give the edge to Bama for discussion purposes.

If you look at the rest, I don't think you can say with any definitiveness that, game for game, every one of Bama's matchups were tougher than what Notre Dame has faced.
