I wonder how many really understand the meaning of "blue blood"?
It doesn't mean you have won a lot a games in the last 10 years or even 20 years! It means you have longevity and have been at the top of your game for decades.
I think UGA is more of a blue blood than LSU because of their legacy. Harvard is a blue blood in football not because their students are blue bloods, but because they helped start the game as we know it!

Please explain your criteria for this statement.

I agree with this.

I see this often, the impression that somehow UGA has had longer success than LSU, but I don't know what it's based on outside of subjective impressions.
Alabama, LSU and Tulane accounted for the first 5 SEC championships. LSU had been to 3 bowl games (not counting Bacardi) before UGA went to their first. By WWII (1941) LSU was ranked #34 nationally in win% (0.645)), while UGA was down at #62 (0.604). LSU won the first 7 games between the two teams, from 1928-1945, and UGA has never led the series.
I've already posted that I think these two football programs are about as close as two can be today, but I still don't understand the perception that Georgia has some kind of better historical legacy than LSU. Perhaps perceptions conflate UGA with GIT's history.
