This term “Blue Blood” is so subjective.

I always ask how many blue bloods can there be? Depending on how many you want to include then LSU and UGA can have a case to be in. Comparing both of those though one has 4 National Championships and the other 1. So there goes that.

Princeton has 18 National Championships in the pre AP era but have been irrelevant for 60 years. Are they a blue blood?

The best indicator of College Football’s rankings is the All time AP ranking based on the final ranking of each season. I know College Football didn’t start in 1936 but before that there was almost no uniformity nor much base for comparison. Some teams played 10 games, others 6. A lot of schedules included opponents that were not even Colleges, some of which learned the game the day of the game. Somehow that is a “win” but it’s ridiculous to claim them, at least with the same weight you do in the modern era.

Couldn’t agree more.
It was the first thought that popped into my head when I read the thread title.
