Tennessee? Really? In what universe has Tennessee ever been blue blood?
Posted on 10/21/20 at 8:30 am to themetalreb
There not. Neither is Penn State a blue blood

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

Alabama had major success in football before the 60’s.

UConn basketball didn't become relevant until the Jim Calhoun came. They didn't become a power until the 90s

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.
Posted on 10/21/20 at 8:37 am to themetalreb
Neither are.
Posted on 10/21/20 at 8:38 am to RollingwiththeTide
You are right. I always consider Alabama just being massive starting in the 60s onward. It's my own bias.
I admit I didn't look anything I typed up, I just went off of what I remember as a CFB fan

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.

Which makes the comparison inaccurate

If you added one based on the 90s on, you could add LSU, but not Georgia. National Championships are required.
Georgia is a good, solid....maybe very good program, but nowhere near Blue Blood status.

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

that's a good pose. 
I realize I have a huge blind spot when it comes to the Vols
