I have never really thought of Texas as a Blue Blood. What does their resume look like? It seems comparable to someone like Auburn (really good and brief periods of being great, but not really sustained periods of greatness).

Texas
The state of the Longhorns’ program isn’t what many in Austin, Texas would like it to be, but its ceiling is still as high as anyone’s. Much of that can be attributed to the lengthy, consistent tradition the state’s flagship program has. Football is bigger in Texas and no one has done it better over time than the Longhorns.
National titles: 4
Wins: 886
Winning percentage: .709
Heisman Trophy winners: Two (Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams)
Conference Titles: 32
Like Nebraska, Texas has struggled in recent seasons – the Longhorns haven’t won at least 10 games since Colt McCoy’s senior season – but the Longhorns are bringing in a great recruiting class and should continue to recruit at a high level. Will Charlie Strong still be the man leading this program when it climbs back to the nationally elite level, though?
change the Charlie Strong plug out for Herman and the wheels keep spinning at UTxThis post was edited on 4/18/18 at 2:43 pm

I think it's fair to say their resumes aren't comparable.

There was a time when Texas would have been one of the first bluebloods that came to mind, maybe even before Alabama. Texas began struggling in the 80's and has never really reclaimed their past glory, imo.
