Ohio state has 3 national titles in the modern era and Bama has 6 in the 21st century alone and they are ranked behind them? Lmao

You thinking this looks legit just helps prove that most of the people in Mississippi have an IQ around 60.

What is considered blue bloods? In Basketball I think Duke, UNC, Duke

So this list should be smaller..Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma seems fair.

List is too long and Arkansas is more of a Blue Blood than Ole Miss(and we’re not a Blue Blood at all).

All time:
Ole Miss - 672–529–34 (.558)
Arkansas - 749–555–40 (.572)

Natties:
Ole Miss - 1
Arkansas - 1

Get back down here where you belong. Take a laxative, because you’re full of shite if you think Ole Miss or Wisconsin are “Blue Bloods”. Some idiot who was born after N’Sync broke up probably wrote this shite. Hot garbage.

Top Blue Bloods of all time list


Ohio State in the Midwest
Alabama in the South
Southern Cal in the West
Notre Dame across the nation

Anybody else is second best at best and not as elite as the team ahead of them

Football

This chart paints the right picture with the right teams, but the order is open for debate..

Bluest Blues (abc)
1. Alabama
2. Michigan
3. Notre Dame
4. Ohio State
5. Oklahoma

A lesser shade of Blue
6. Nebraska
7. Texas
8. USC

Almost Blue
Georgia
LSU
Penn State
Florida
Tennessee

The Basketball Version

The Teams (abc)
1. Duke
2. Kansas
3. Kentucky
4. North Carolina
5. UCLA

Open for Debate
UConn - while they have been dominant for the last 30-40 years, they do not have the history or sustained success typical of a blue blood, but they do have 6 rings since 1999

very similar to LSU baseball imo.. LSU doesn’t have the long history, but LSU has 8 titles since 1990 and that earned them a spot


These aren’t my charts so I’m not sure if they are up to date.

Problem with using the AP poll for basketball is they never included the postseason until last year.

It’s not a perfect metric, but it’s hard to argue with the results. The Top 5 are the right teams and #6 isn’t really all that close, regardless of metric.

I usually just use 4, and based on 1% to 2% of the viable pool (P5 schools and not G5)

If you add OU, there is a strong claim for them

B1G = Ohio State > Michigan > ???
SEC = Alabama > ???
PAC = Southern California > ???
IND = Notre Dame > ???
Big 8 + SWC = Oklahoma > Nebraska > Texas > ???

The "new" Big 12 is a glorified G5 conference while the old Big 8 + SWC would easily be a P5
