Interesting post. I still go with these 8 that a lot of CFB fans seem to hold to.
I will rank on history but also with a recency bias built in:
1. Alabama
2. Ohio State - I think we all hate them but they are consistent as hell, no doubt a top 4-5 program all time
3/4 Notre Dame & Oklahoma - can’t decide which way to rank right now.
5. Michigan - most of success was before most of us was born but still tons of wins and recent title vaults them ahead of…
6. USC
7. Texas - ranked here because only 4 titles and our shite era recently but we look poised to
contend again and not become…
8. Nebraska - blue blood rather we like it or not, drought has been so long, will they ever make another run again or come back to relevance? If not, what do we do with them?
Just because they aren’t blue bloods doesn’t mean that programs like Georgia and LSU aren’t as good or aren’t better positioned going forward - they just didn’t have the success far enough back.

Only 5 blue bloods.
1- Alabama
2- Ohio St
3- Oklahoma
4- Notre Dame
5- USC
I don't give teams points for just existing longer...so teams like Michigan and Texas would be in the next tier. Nebraska is the one I struggle with. Definitely a blue blood most of my life... and it takes more than a bad decade to lose the status, but man, they haven't even been average for years... they've sucked for nearly a quarter of a century now. If you want to know how to lose blue blood status, Nebraska is showing you. At least ND has been in NC contention a couple of times this century.

Agreed. After last season, Michigan has passed USC. It’s close, but Michigan should be ahead.
