The 8 blue bloods of CFB are pretty obvious
Alabama
USC
Notre Dame
Michigan
OSU
Nebraska
Texas
Oklahoma

Everyone else is behind them. The team closest to falling off from their blueblood status is Nebraska, but even then they're at least a decade or two of consistently terrible performance before that can be considered.

Easily blue bloods

IMO, too many holes in the resume for these. They are elite for sure, but not bluebloods

My Program Rankings (using a metric I won’t share because uninformed people flip out over the tiniest inputs):

BLUEBLOODS
1. Alabama- 1294
2. Oklahoma- 1033
3. Ohio State- 1013
4. Notre Dame- 871

ELITES
5. Michigan- 818
6. USC- 783
7. LSU- 665
8. Georgia- 664
9. Nebraska- 663
10. Texas- 657
11. Florida St- 606
12. Florida- 566
13. Penn St- 566
14. Miami- 565
15. Clemson- 526
16. Tennessee- 519
17. Auburn- 477

SOLID PROGRAMS
18. Michigan State- 361
19. UCLA- 330
20. Washington- 325
21. Texas A&M- 297
22. Oregon- 284
23. Wisconsin- 282
24. TCU- 268
25. Arkansas- 266

Michigan winning the title last season shrunk the gap between #4 Notre Dame the #5 team considerably… as Michigan jumped ahead of USC after winning a title last year.

It takes literal decades to gain or lose blue blood status, and to be honest, Notre Dame is going on close to three decades of being just a notch above average. If Michigan were to jump above Notre Dame in the coming years, I’d be more inclined to say there are just three blue bloods rather than move a 5th team up to the group. Bottom line is Notre Dame is dangerously close to losing blue blood status, IMO.
