re: Who Are The True Bluebloods Of College Football?

There is a pretty clear dropoff after the Top 9.

Notre Dame
Michigan
Ohio State
Nebraska
Texas
USC
Alabama
Oklahoma
Penn State

Those are the true blue bloods. Blue Bloods are there due to decades and decades of continued success, as opposed to some of the next tier of "good programs" that have significant periods of downturn. Penn State is the only one in danger of dropping off...and they still have 35 more wins and .005 win percentage on the next closest blue blood candidate in Tennessee.

Programs like Miami and Navy have historic periods, but don't have sustained success like the true blue bloods.

The truth is, and I know this won't be popular, that the SEC has some good programs, but Alabama is the only blue blood. Tennessee could get there with a solid decade or so. But really, it would take 20+ for anyone else to get close. Georgia and LSU could do it, but it would take a long run to really get there.

Auburn fans, you are on the wrong side of the grand canyon. Almost 30 wins and 20 points in win percentage to catch LSU...that is massive.

No one else is close enough to mention.
