Btw you are a Tenn grad and LSU fan. Why is the have a picture of Ole Miss as your team logo?Or are you representing all the places Lane was HFC? You should add Southern Cal too then.

How it's been since integration for charter SEC members:

1. Bama (obviously far and away #1)
2. UGA (passed us up in the past 3-4 years)
3. UF
4. LSU
5. Auburn
6. Vols

I think the term “blue blood” carries a mystique with it that goes beyond just results on the field - although those matter a lot. It’s a big deal for anyone to play and/or beat them even in years when they’re down.

My list:

Alabama
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Michigan
USC
Oklahoma
Texas

Nebraska may have been on there at one time, but they have been out of the picture a while and Lincoln, Nebraska, is 400-500 miles from the nearest Top 20 media market. Combine the two and no one gives a shite anymore.

UGA isn't a blue blood and I am happy with that. We aren't snobby blue bloods, we're just a very very good football program currently on a very nice run. We are firmly in the tier just under 'blue blood' and that's a great place to be, imo. Frick the 'blue bloods.'

The more interesting conversation is whether Georgia has moved into #2 best SEC team of all time.

FWIW, here is my all-time SEC ranking of the traditional SEC teams (and I admit it's just mine and not worth much):

1. Alabama
2. TIE - LSU and Georgia
4. Tennessee
5. TIE - Auburn and Florida
7. Ole Miss
8. Kentucky
9. Mississippi State
10. Vanderbilt

Add in all of the current SEC teams and it looks like this:

1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. TIE - LSU and Georgia
5. Oklahoma
6. Tennessee
7. TIE - Auburn and Florida
9. Texas aTm
10. Arkansas
11. Ole Miss
12. South Carolina
13. Kentucky
14. Missouri
15. Mississippi State
16. Vanderbilt

No. They have as many titles as Clemson has the last 15 years. In fact, Clemson overall in that time frame is possibly more dominant because they’ve been to the playoff more and have a better record. If you let the in you have to let Clemson in

second tier with Texas and Michigan.


I understand and agree about Texas, but Michigan has more National Championships than Ohio State. I would say they both belong.

Top 10, yes. Blue Blood, nope.

Senator Blutaksy, rest in power, ran the The Montana Project 20 years ago after Stewart Mandel said Georgia wasn't a national power. Stewart was impressed and raised Georgia to national power status after their 2021 nattie.

Vandy has more conference titles than MSU. Albeit, they all came in the 20’s.

Under no scenario whatsoever does OU take a backseat to Texas, LSU, or UGA.

No, UGA is not a blue blood. That term is one of the most misunderstood in cfb.

There are like 7 actual blue bloods that are based on nearly a century's worth of results. One of those temas having several decades' worth of shittiness doesn't remove them, and other teams having several decade's worth of greatness doesn't add them. It would take A LOOOOONG time for any changes to happen.

And UGA isn't there. I do think it's fair to say UGA is a top 10 program in CFB history though, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at.


Exactly. "Blue Blood" and "elite program" are 2 completely different things and most don't understand it. Georgia is far better than most of the blue blood programs because Georgia is an elite program.

Bingo. When it comes to the list of blue bloods. We are looking UP at Oklahoma. They are a mount rushmore blueblood. I may not like it, but that doesn't make it untrue.
You'd have to be a fricking retard to think Texas is above Oklahoma in that list.

The term blue blood needs to be replaced by "historically successful" for the history of CFB.

A second term "recently successful" for the last 75 years should also be used.
