Blueblood basically means "winningest programs in the pre-modern era."
Georgia and LSU aren't bluebloods because most of their success is recent. Most of Texas's success is in the 60s, smack in the middle of the era of when the sport was becoming a behemoth. When the lore was being written.
It doesn't mean we don't think Georgia and LSU aren't really good, important programs. They are, and we're really proud of you both.

I didn’t post jack shite about the SEC you assclown. And OMG yall beat Alabama in a regular season game!! Absolutely amazing bud! We should all bow down to the high and mighty Longhorns cause they won 1 fricking game against an SEC opponent that would’ve blown them out by the years end. Totally makes up for not winning anything at all in 2 decades and since the Vietnam war before that. Really, really weird you’re trying to use ancient BS to defend your program and then try and bring up 1 game from last year as evidence yall are on par with teams like Ohio State currently. I’m sorry all those years beating up on Aggy, Texas Tech, SMU & TCU don’t mean anything to anybody other than Texas fans.

Most people in this thread seem to disagree with you. You can play yourself into blue blood status if you’re a historically great football program that was already almost there anyways and UGA & LSU have. Just like you can play yourself out of blue blood status like Yale, Army, etc. have.

hahaha no shite, on an SEC website? where 90% hate Texas?
Do some googling, ask ChatGPT, whatever. It doesn't really matter that a bunch of hayseeds on SECRant don't think Texas is a blueblood. The CFB collective fandom does.

Do you also think Yale, Army, & Navy are blue bloods? Because the only way you can leave LSU & UGA out while keeping teams like Texas, Nebraska and even Michigan until the last couple years in is if you’re just using ancient success and wins in 1950 to come up with the list.
Google "Blue Blood College Football" or something like that..
Texas will show up on 80-90%+ of the list that are made on this topic..
LSU & Georgia will show up on about 10-15% of the list.. and almost all of those will also include Texas..
Yell at them if you don't like the results.

UGA and LSU are bluebloods before Texas. All have the same number of NCs, with UGA and LSU more recent
For sure in the last 25 years.

Probably even for the last 50 years.
Pre-ww2 era is why some are considered blue bloods, or close to it.

UTexas has a HUGE problem. They have massive amounts of money from boosters but then the booster expect access in return. These boosters have built empires in their field and expect they should be able to do the same thing with the Longhorn program.
I think that that is the reason why the State of Texas has only won 1 NC in football in the last 50+ years
I am not sure how Texas fixes this except to limit access.
I couldn't possibly agree more with everything you said. I think we finally have a strong athletic director that can limit their influence to a point but I think it will always be a problem for us.

It seems easy to "predict" names of schools with huge NIL budgets and legitimate long-standing brands to be contenders for the 12-team playoff.
"Successful" also seems a bit subjective because a lot of schools win games, but they don't have the actual prize, which is the Natty.
In the SEC championships matter, and our Conference has been the apex of college football from a "success" standpoint in wins and Natty's since the inception of the BCS.
I suspect the same names will be at the top of the list. Notre Dame has the most pussy schedule of all the normal "top-named schools" that would appear on people's lists. That said, I don't believe they belong with the likes of Georgia, LSU, Texas, and Alabama.

Texas... literally... just won the SEC last year LOL
If you really want to get technical, you were .500 against teams who will be in the SEC in 2024.
So no you didn’t.

With current conference alignment and the new CFP granting an in to a conference champion looks like Oklahoma State and Utah may be on the brink of unknown "success"....neither will face an inconference foe with a pulse most likely.
