re: College Football Blue Bloods: Ranking The 25 Best Football Schools

Actual blue bloods:

1- Alabama
2- Ohio State
3- Oklahoma
4- Notre Dame
5- USC

Big Names, but no.

6- Michigan
7- Nebraska
8- Texas
9- Penn St

Then it starts getting jumbled with LSU, Miami, FSU, Tennessee, Florida.

Michigan hasn't won enough championships to be a true blue blood. Nebraska might be the one program that managed to lose blue blood status. They've been putrid for nearly a quarter of a century now.

Before the Saban era at Bama, most of these lists probably would have had Notre Dame at #1. Still a blue blood, but no championship since 1988 has them sliding down the list.
