List is garbage - 10 win seasons =/= actual championships

AZ State and Wisconsin over Arkansas and GA Tech?

10 win seasons is a moronic metric. Teams that won 9 when the season was 11 games or less get no points?

De emphasizing national titles? How does this shite get published?

8 SEC teams in the top 21. (Including OU and UTx)

Not too shabby.

I’m not entirely against the list. Nebraska should be lower. Texas and LSU should be higher and Free Shoes University outside of Bimbo Fisher should be way lower. As much as I appreciate Bobby Bowden, they benefited from a weak conference and having to play one Miami game to be highly ranked. Similar to how Michigan and OSU is now.

I personally think the whole claim of a team being a 'blue blood' is...dumb. As mentioned by others there's no real criteria and it's just a made up title for programs with rich tradition. Nebraska is 4th on the list, but I bet they'd give up their spot if they could just have their first 10 win season since the freaun 90s.
Right now, I'm just concerned about my team winning its 3rd natty in the last 4 years. That's JMHO

I saw Arizona State and Boise State in there. Did I miss Texas A&M somewhere?

This is a really stupid list that is impossible to read.

Edit: Also, even Bama fans, as dumb as they are, would acknowledge that Tennessee is too high and LSU is too low.

Tennessee is not a friggin blue blood. That name means nothing anymore.

This is quite funny/ironic since a good deal of time on this forum is arguing that Bama's national championships don't count. Different eras counted the titles by different means.

LSU is more elite than Tennessee and way more elite than PSU. And PSU only has 2 titles not 4. Wonder what else was fudged.

These threads are always a fun read just for the universal butthurt alone, as cringey as it may be.

Silly list. They got 1st right, but that isn’t difficult.

With Oklahoma’s addition there’s 2 Blue Bloods in the SEC. Thats it, no Texas isn’t one and isn’t close if you ask me, both LSU and Georgia would have a better claim.

Bama
Notre Dame (a fact I really hate btw)
Southern Cal
Ohio State
Michigan

I had always said Nebraska was one, but sadly I’ll have to remove them from the list, as not only haven’t they been relevant in a couple decades, they’ve been mired in mediocrity for most of it.

One of the worst lists of any kind I've ever seen. Like a 5th grader who knows absolutely nothing about football created this.

How is Nebraska 6? They haven’t had a good team in 20 years. These all time lists are always stupid. Football has evolved. You have to break it down by eras. For a ling time Army was THE football program. Now they aren’t. LSU was bad in the 90s. 3 titles since 2000. Ignoring the evolution of the landscape of CFB creates a horrible list. Alabama is probably the only one you can put at #1 on the all time list.
