On the cusp (no order, but Nebraska/UT seem the closest to meeting the criteria):
- Nebraska (only because they've recently fallen below the .700 win % threshold)
- UTenn
- Penn St
- UF
- Auburn
- LSU
- UGA
- FSU
- Miami


As of now, UGA really does not fit in this group.

I realize that the sole criteria of most on this board is national titles, I don't agree that UGA doesn't belong.

Objectively when you take multiple criteria into account UGA clearly fits. UGA has more wins, a higher win %, and more conference titles than AU, LSU, and UF. I assume you're not arguing that AU, LSU, and UF don't belong on this list (I'm not).

From the article I mentioned that used the posted criteria for Blue Bloods. Mind you, it is 2 year old data, so add an SEC Championship and NCG runner up to the resume. I think they clearly belong in second tier. Just a bit short on win%

Georgia: Georgia claims two national titles, a 65% winning percentage and two Heisman Trophy winners. The Bulldogs are third all-time in winning percentage in the SEC, and boast 14 conference titles. But UGA, at least during the Mark Richt era, developed a reputation for not being able to get over the hump. They’re actually somewhat of a sleeping giant, at the moment.

Don’t be dumb. Uga has fit into this group for a long time.

Neither does LSU, UTenn or Auburn, imo. Sorry, but I don't think half of the SEC is a blueblood.

Move them above LSU and they fit.
No one claims Georgia is a Blue Blood, but they are indeed on the short list to become one soon.
