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

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.
