IMO a true blueblood is never down for a sustained period of time(>5+ years) and when they're up will be a perinneal top 5 team competing for NCs. And seeing their name on your teams schedule will strike fear in you even if they're down
Notre Dame and Nebraska used to fit that description, but have lost their luster after sustained down years
USC used to fit that description, but the NCAA/powers at be will never allow an elite coach at USC to run free longterm again as the location and city's culture (much like Miami) can precipitate a sustained dynasty that's overly dominant and bad for CFB
Texas and Michigan are close to that description, but lack longterm dominance/sustained runs as title contenders. They'll generally have a decade of being borderline contenders(5-10 range) that ends in a title, but generally lack the ability to reload and replicate the success
The big 3 in Florida prevent each other from fitting this description as when one comes close, another rises and impedes the others recruiting monopoly
LSU and Georgia lack longterm relevance
Penn State has never been dominant
The only 3 true blue bloods are OSU, OU and Bama

Generally? Texas has 1 title, in the last 50 years.
Michigan has 2 titles, in the last 75 years.

LSU and Georgia lack longterm relevance
During that same time, these schools have 4 and 3 titles.

Ok, but we are talking about mega bluebloods after WW2, not true blue bloods.
