I think recent success should matter if we’re going to talk about current blue blood football programs.
I just think the definition is different. Blue Blood isn't "current" it's all time. They don't rotate.
If OSU was terrible for a decade in a row they would still be a blue blood. Bama did nothing in between 1995 and 2007. Doesn't mean they weren't a blue blood during that entire time

Yeah, people just don't get it. Blue blood isn't about a 10 year period, but a 100-year period. The 8 programs have been great programs since, at least, the 1920s and have always bounced back.

Right.
The simplest explanation of blueblood is this: they're the teams that have almost always been there. There are only a handful, as in most sports.
