re: Is LSU a blue blood? Is Georgia?

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

Those that were before the 60's, that remained so for decades following.

So, Michigan and Ohio State, yes. Minnesota, no. Notre Dame, yes. Army, no.

Alabama, yes. LSU, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Clemson... no.

Texas, Penn State... eh, only if you INSIST that a region (Penn St in the East) or traditional conference (Texas from the SWC) MUST have a blueblood.
And that kinda defines the Blueblood concept- they're the big fish in the little ponds across college football.

Alabama has owned the SEC (and Southern football), Michigan and Ohio State have owned the Big 10, Penn State was the Beast of the East, Texas owned the SWC, Oklahoma and Nebraska owned the Big 8, USC owned the Pac. Notre Dame has been THE independent powerhouse.
That's it; there are no further entries.
