UGA isn't really a blueblood.
But for a list like this using numbers, there's a reason UGA gets included. It's not because they were consistently in contention for national titles. They really haven't been other than the 1940's, early 1980's and 2017-present.
The reason UGA gets included is they don't suck as bad as other teams in their down years.
UGA has been more than one game below .500 the following seasons: 1990, 1961, 1955-8, 1953, 1949, 1932, 1914, 1909, 1905, 1904. 13 total seasons where UGA was bad enough to lose two more than they won. Only 2 of them since 1960. A lot of other teams who have been in competition for championships more frequently than UGA have way more frequent horrible years.

There is definitely some truth in this.
