They don't even know what blue blood means.

There are 8 blue blood teams. It does not mean they are among the most elite in the nation, it means they are the teams that were consistently good in the period of time when college football got popular and have large fan bases that give them a general advantage when it comes to things like revenue, TV time, etc.

However, I'm not going to lie. I giggled that they had ND #11.

I think it should be a revolving list. There are teams on that list that haven’t done anything in at least 10 years. I think recent success should matter if we’re going to talk about current blue blood football programs.

That's a solid definition...

there aren't "new" blue bloods. LSU and Oregon (for example) aren't now blue bloods because both have been good the past 20 years.
