UGA has 8 National titles if we use the same criteria that UT ises to claim titles.
No, UGA claims 4 and Tennessee claim to 6.
6 > 4

You retards claim 1950 with only 1 nobody wire service called Dunkel awarding it.
As you know National Champions where crowned before the bowl games. Back then, Bowl games didn’t hold any significant value as the national champions where awarded when the regular season was over with prior to bowls. With that said, the Vols should actually claim more than they do.
1939 team went 10-0 in regular season and didn’t allow a point aim the regular season. They should claim that year, but don’t. The Vols were ranked #1 half the season and for some reason they dropped 2 weeks in a row despite they didn’t lose a fricking game. Here the week by week AP pole that year.
10/16- #5
10/23- #1
10/30- #1
11/6- #1
11/13- #1
11/20- #2 ( beat Vandy 13-0 on 11/18)
11/27- #4 (bye week prior week)
12/4- #2 beat UK 19-0, and Auburn 7-0
Back then the AP polls favored teams out west and up north over teams from the south. Crazy to think you drop from the #1 ranking even though you don’t lose and shut out every team. So in my eyes, they deserve to claim the 1939 title, but don’t. They claim 1938, and 1940 but 1939 was better than both those teams and wasn’t awarded the title. Tennessee should have been the first team to 3 peat in the SEC.

UGA is above UT both now and since the beginning of college football.
Let’s look at the facts.
Longest drought Between titles-
UGA- 41 years 1980-2021
UT- 23 years as of today.
AP All Time ranking
UGA- #11
UT- #10
All Time Win %
UGA- .666 #11th all time
UT- .672 #10th all time, 2nd SEC
All Time Wins
UGA- 881 #10 all time
UT- 887 #9 all time
Conference Championships
UGA- 15 #37th all time, 3rd SEC
UT- 16 #32nd all time, 2nd SEC
National titles
UGA- 4
UT- 6
Having success the last 10 years don’t make you an all time great. Tennessee at no point has ever gone 41 years between titles.

Only because Uga doesn’t use the same criteria that UT uses to claim titles.

Sure it is. The Vols played the games on the field and they actually won them.

Georgia is a solid & respectable program ... but should not be included. I think of blue-bloods as the programs that have been very good over the span of CFB. I'd consider Nebraska and USC blue-bloods, even though they haven't done much in awhile. UGa success is fairly recent.

There really should not be any debate.
The Texas AD determines who is and isn't a blue blood.
Just wait for Del Conte to address it.

You forgot to add Tennessee!

They went 41 years between titles. 1980-2021.
They think the success under Kirby qualifies them as a Blue Blood.

I doubt most uga fans consider themselves a blue blood.

Fans who post threads about blue bloods aren't blue bloods. The first rule of Fight Club....

I’m not sure how Bama feels. I can tell you for sure that LSU fans don’t care about the moniker (really, we don’t, we just get annoyed when UGA is called one because of 2 championships in the last 5 minutes), nor do we think we are anywhere near the conversation. LSU has more since 2000 than everyone except for Bama, but if LSU won 7 championships in a row I’d still feel weird using that term because we weren’t successful in a golden era. I think if you weren’t successful over an entire decade at least twice pre-BCS, you’re off the list no matter what you do after that.
To be honest, from what I see, I don’t think it’s terribly important to Bama fans. Maybe I’m wrong. Just don’t see you guys rubbing it in our faces that Bama is a blue blood. My buddy is a Nebraska fan and it seems more depressing for him than anything. Like a retired athlete gaining 50 pounds.

Reminds me of Kansas talking about blue blood status all the time. Only way they can feel relevant.

And they shouldn't. The Kentucky Wildcats have the purest claim to being bluebloods.
First of all, they are from the bluegrass state and their grass is actually blue. Secondly, Kentucky is the birthplace of bluegrass music. The football team's uniforms are blue. And lastly, for God's sake, many of the people in the state actually have blue blood, like the Blue Fugates I mentioned earlier.
The Smurfs cartoon was based on the lives of people that live in Kentucky.

This is a joke. How is Georgia a blue blood? They haven't won shite till recently. A blue blood is a historic program with a strong tradition of winning. Georgia isn't that and neither are Texas and OU

Sooners don’t have a strong tradition of winning? Wow, that’s news to me. I guess all the accolades and hardware they possess are just my imagination.

I am a Dawg. We are not blue bloods. We are fricking red bloods. The title of "Blue Blood" is owned by those whose glory days are in the rear view.

No it didn't. We just rolled our eyes because you wanted it to matter to us. Did we get tired of seeing it? Yes. But he's right. LSU went through a 44 year drought, so don't try to make our 41 year drought proof that we should not be a SEC Blue Blood.

Now they are still fighting for attention and relevance because they hate that no one cares about their two championships.
We aren't fighting for relevance. After 2019, LSU is the one fighting for relevance and attention.

longer between the first and the last.
LSU went 44 years in between titles.
quote:
Just stfu, sit in the corner and ask yourself how a defending national champion “blue blood” lost to the luckiest mediocre team that barely beat Auburn right after they got blown out by NM State.
One of LSU's titles was won after losing two games and needing complete chaos to make the title game.
quote:
Real “blue blood” energy there. Dumbass.
1. Overall, we are not a blue blood.
2. Neither is LSU.
3. Neither is Tennessee.
4. SEC teams that are national blue bloods are Alabama and Oklahoma
5. SEC only bluebloods? Georgia and LSU has an argument. Tennessee probably does, too, as does Auburn.

I, ad just about all (if not all) Georgi fans do not consider Georgia a Blue Blood.
That said, recently?
1942, 1980 is recently?
We have older titles that LSU. Not that eithershould be considered a Blue Blood.
