These things always just depend on where you want to draw the line on what a blue blood is or isn't.

People forget/discount it but LSU had plenty of success before 2000 and are a top 10ish all time program.

People who like LSU say that's blue blood, people who don't say it isn't.

LSU had success but not enough to warrant blue blood consideration. As I've pointed out multiple times before, prior to the arrival of Nick Saban, LSU had five 10-win seasons in their whole history. For comparison's sake, Alabama had five seasons of 10 wins or more in the decade prior to Saban's arrival in Baton Rouge.

I'm a die-hard fan and I'd say we aren't. Neither is Miami, Clemson, Florida, FSU, etc. who had little sustained success before the 1980s. LSU, Georgia, and Penn State are just outside the "blue-blood" cutoff line
