You obviously don’t know the meaning of the term blue blood.

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Oklahoma
4. Southern Cal
5. Ohio St
6. Nebraska
7. Michigan
8. Texas
9. Penn St
10. Tennessee or LSU...flip a coin.
The Florida schools would be in the next tier... just not blue bloods since none of them did anything before the 80s.

The Platinum Club represents the blue bloods. These are the
Rockefellers and Carnegies of the game. They made the game and are a part of its lore. They are the icons of the sport. In the context of College Football, they are spoken of with reverence.
The Gold Club consists of all time greats who at one time or another have dominated the sport for significant periods of time.
The Silver Club consists generally of top flight programs that have occasionally reached the highest level
The Bronze Club are up and down, but at one time are another have been elite.

You need to swap FSU and LSU. FSU wasn't shite until the 80s.
FSU doesn't belong in the same tier with Miami, either.

And Stanford does not belong in upper tiers

Fair enough. What keeps you in? Why is USC and Nebraska still considered Blue Bloods?
What triggers them to stop being considered. I am just wondering about the criteria.
It's been 16 years since USC has played for a title and that one was vacated. You have to figure the 2003 should have been vacated for the same reason because of the Bush shenanigans, so that means their last untainted title was something like 42 years ago.
People want Nebraska out but they have 3 more recent ones.

Been longer for USC. 2004 was vacated because of Bush, but 2003 was not, even though Bush was a part of that team, too. Take those two titles out and it was 1978 when they won their last title.

Neither LSU or Georgia has the generational lineage to be considered a blue blood. When they've been prominent, it's for short (historically speaking) periods of time and then it's back to being moderately relevant.

There have been times that USC has completely dominated the sport. USC has had some of the greatest teams ever.
If you ask some guy in Idaho or rhode island who the greatest college teams are, the will still include USC and Michigan.
Why? Because they achieved such a level of mystic that it lasts for a long long time.

That is a good point. My mind still remembers Pete Carroll’s dominance even though Reggie Bush tainted some of that. Nebraska was a power that fell off after Tom Osbourne retired. I do not see them returning to glory. They have become a faded power. Tennessee to some extent too.

Absolutely. 40+ years ago. Where do you draw the line. There have been times that Nebraska has dominated to sport, too.

I think I would rate Auburn above LSU. But it is close.
Regardless, neither are Gold material.
Perhaps FSU is silver. But one factor here is how great was a school's greatest era. That's where FSU shines.

LSU is the best and most consistent team over the last 20 years. No if and or buts.
The only team that has ZERO losing seasons and multiple NC’s since the BCS. ZERO teams can say that outside of LSU

10 pages? Nice work OP. I guess that's what happens if you call Ole Miss a blue blood.

Jeebus Harry Christ, does no one read the 37 off season "blue blood" threads every off season?
It is a poor metaphor to use, as it is so commonly misunderstood.
BLOOD STATUS does not change. Blue Bloods represent nobility. Even if that Lord/Lady becomes destitute, they are still of noble birth and higher on the class scale than anyone of non-noble birth, even if said person pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and have more wealth than most nobles.
Of the typical list of 7-8 "blue bloods", their status is confirmed because of their influence they have over football, name recognition, and energy they draw in rankings/press even when slight above average.
Their status generates from the beginnings of football and will endure until its end. As time goes on and the frame of reference shifts from 150 years to 300 yrs, I'm sure their will be appetite for more blue bloods from the shifting perspective of nobility and frame for what is the "beginning" of football.
