"Blue Blood" is the dumbest shite in all of sports

Crossing 900 wins now places them in the top 10 all-time, joining the most historically dominant programs in college football.
900 wins or more is not the benchmark of a blue blood. It's a thousand wins or more like Bama and Michigan have.

New money vs old money
New money drives flashy cars, throws $ at people while saying hey everybody look at me
Old money doesn’t care what people think.
May go through a rough spot from time to time, but it’s not a sprint, soon
they will be back in spotlight,

Check that. Bama officially at 982, just behind Ohio St. 987
Note. Michigan holds the lead with 1019, 32 more than OSU but started playing 11 years before OSU.
OSU and Alabama have better winning % than UM

This shite again.
It's a historical label. Being a "blue blood" doesn't provide any benefit. You don't get spotted any extra points on the scoreboard. There is no magical funding that schools get every year for being a blue blood. It's just a label that teams earned during the time period when the sport was gaining it's popularity.
If you want to start a list that is the "Best programs of the past 20 years", then sure many of these newer teams are in that list. But that's not what blue blood means.
As for Georgia, you never had a dynasty, much less an active dynasty. And if one of the other was to somehow replace Nebraska, it would probably be some other team. LSU definitely has a better case.

The fact you spent all that time to convince us Georgia is a blue blood is proof Georgia is not a blue blood.

Nebraska has fallen off and looks like they’ll never come back so I say it’s fair to replace them with UGA or LSU
