LSU is but not UF..we have almost exact same resumes..It is hard to find two Football programs who are more alike. From head to head, to SEC titles, to players drafted, to National Titles...it is very, very hard.

The big question with Texas is why they haven't won more. Massive state with a huge population. Talent, money, a legendary HS football scene.
I felt they were on the cusp of doing so when they played Alabama for the title. Then Colt went down, and it was over. For years.

Yeah, but Nebraska is really, really pushing the limits of how much and how long you can suck for before you’re not considered a blue blood anymore. Like I’m pretty sure this recent suckitude has affected Nebraska’s all time statistics at this point.
Yeah agree with you there. They are really close to being moved in favor of someone else.
At the end of the day, none of this really means anything other than talking points for some people to argue about on a Message board. It doesn’t guarantee any level of success.
Well that and seeing how insecure LSU fans are who think college football started in the year 2000. That was a bit of unexpected joy.

Blue Bloods are set in stone and not subject to change at this point. No additions and no subtractions. I don't understand why anyone cares about this, though tbh. Bama OU OSU Michigan Notre Dame USC Texas

Only 5 true football blue bloods.
Alabama
Ohio St
Oklahoma
Notre Dame
Southern Cal
Texas is in the next tier with Nebraska and Michigan. Extremely hard to truly obtain or lose the status...but I think after a quarter century of really bad football Nebraska did.

Sorry to break it to you but Texas has never been a blue blood in football.
Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Southern California, Notre Dame are the standard, unchanged Blue Bloods.

What about Michigan?
Michigan has 12 Natties...they are def more blue blood than Ohio State.

Michigan CLAIMS that many titles like PITTSBURGH claims NINE titles. The reality of what is nationally recognized and not self-claimed is three - 1948, 1997, 2023. Pitt only has two - 1937, 1976.
Michigan’s majority of success of what they boast about is pre-AP poll.
Ohio State is the superior program when it comes to top ten finishes, award winners, big bowl wins, nationally recognized poll era titles.

If it's the standard list, you should be able to find one without Texas or Michigan. You can't.

Michigan has 45 Big Ten titles Ohio State- 39
Head to head- Michigan 62- Ohio State 52
Natties- Michigan - 12 OSU- 9
All time win perc- Michigan .732 Ohio State .737
It is close...but in no way is OSU the superior....at all

Bama shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as Texas when it comes to blue blood status. Bama has almost 5 times the number of national championships as Texas does.

Yeah you aren't a football blueblood. If you are, so are we...and we arent

Maybe "blue blood" is becoming an outdated term. I do think there are premier/elite brands. When kids get letters from potential schools, these are the names they want to see.
Alabama, OU, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, USC, Texas, LSU. Tennessee and Florida slightly behind. Oregon and Penn State after that. If you are recruited by those schools, you're being recruited by the elites.

Ohio State is superior in every category that matters on an even playing field.
Outright B1G titles: Buckeyes
Big Bowl wins: Buckeyes
Award winners: Buckeyes
Heisman winners: Buckeyes
Poll Era titles: Buckeyes
Consensus All-Americans: Buckeyes
No one but Michigan claims 12 national titles. The majority of their claims were done so retroactively. Hell, anyone can do that. Look at Auburn.
