Neither is, although some lsu fans will claim they are.
There's only about 7-8 actual blue bloods in cfb history. Hint- only 1 is from the sec

I wouldn’t even call Clemson a blue blood if you look at their success historically. I would put LSU in there way before I would put Clemson in there, hell I would even put UGA ahead of Clemson.

Being a "blueblood" has nothing to do with recent success. It has to do with the overall tradition of success.
USC, Notre Dame, Penn State, Nebraska haven't won anything in quite awhile, yet they're all bluebloods.
Georgia is a blueblood program. Anyone who knows college football history knows this. Per the NCAA records, they've been named national champions 6 times. It doesn't matter that their last one came in 1980.
Both UGA and LSU are bluebloods. Their records prove it. Your "opinion" is your's, but it isn't rooted in fact.
Clemson isn't regarded as a blueblood, by the way, despite their recent success.

I am guessing blue bloods refers to power house teams before the 60's

UGA, no. They don't have enough historical success to qualify.
LSU, no. They have more championships than UGA, but most of their success has come in a relatively short period of time. Sustained success over multiple decades is a requirement for blueblood status. If Miami isn't on the list (which they aren't), then LSU surely isn't.
Clemson isn't for the same reason as LSU.
Ole Miss, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I would say no. To me the term blue blood means a team has had a long history of success in just about every era of college football and not just what we consider the modern era. A blue blood to me has built a tradition going back to almost the start of college football.

No.
Bama
Michigan
Penn St
USC
Texas
Oklahoma
Ohio St
Notre Dame
Nebraska (About to lose that status)
Tennessee (About to lose that status)
Are college football bluebloods.

Blue Blood is becoming an antiquated term IMO.
You have "traditional" Blue Bloods. I would include the likes of
Michigan
Ohio State
Notre Dame
Army
USC
Then you have the 60s to 80s blue bloods adding in no order
Texas
Oklahoma
Nebraska
Alabama
Penn State
Then from the 90s on I'd say is the modern era and you can comfortably add
LSU
Georgia
All teams above get extra leniency with recruits because everyone knows these teams as juggernauts at one time or another (excluding Army, but they were the shite early on). But you had better put up or shut up, and the only teams that can do that right now IMO are
Alabama
Clemson
LSU
Ohio State

Neither LSU or UGA are. Confused why you even thought about Ole Miss

If you would go ask a UCF fan I’m sure they would tell you they are a blue blood program. They probably consider themselves more of a blue blood program more than LSU or UGA.

Neither are.

Evaluating Blue Blood Status
I did a detailed post on this topic a few years ago on the MSB. It’s now 4 years dated, but still contains a lot of relevant info on this topic.

Teams like LSU and Clemson are new money.
Blue bloods are old money that still have prestige even if they currently aren’t great.
Alabama
Notre Dame
Michigan
Ohio State
Penn State
USC
Nebraska
Maybe Florida State
The SEC being great overall is something fairly new that started in the 80s when black athletes started becoming dominant on teams. Until then it mostly Midwest programs that were dominant
