LSU should put that 1908 in the stadium with the others but put an * next and indicate that it was an NC before the Consensus Poll era which started with the AP in 1936. IN 1935 the had of the AP sports writers by himself gave a co NC to 3 teams. 1936 was first consensus AP Poll with sportswriters across the USA.

Sometimes you just gotta cut a MF. They and all teams bleed red just like the rest of us.

Neither are blue blood. Both are at the top tier just below blue blood but I would put LSU slightly about Georgia because they have more national titles.

Who’s in the playoff this year? Who’s going to have a heisman winning QB? Neither of those apply to BAMA so who cares.

Neither really.
Both solid programs with plenty of history, but neither are blue blood.

I agree with this.

I see this often, the impression that somehow UGA has had longer success than LSU, but I don't know what it's based on outside of subjective impressions.
Alabama, LSU and Tulane accounted for the first 5 SEC championships. LSU had been to 3 bowl games (not counting Bacardi) before UGA went to their first. By WWII (1941) LSU was ranked #34 nationally in win% (0.645)), while UGA was down at #62 (0.604). LSU won the first 7 games between the two teams, from 1928-1945, and UGA has never led the series.
I've already posted that I think these two football programs are about as close as two can be today, but I still don't understand the perception that Georgia has some kind of better historical legacy than LSU. Perhaps perceptions conflate UGA with GIT's history.

Not every team has played the same amount of seasons though, wins per season would be better, but I’m not taking the time to sort that out

Both blue bloods. Very similar success. Georgia doesn’t have the national titles but pretty much the two programs are very similar in terms of the amount of success they have had.

I wonder how many really understand the meaning of "blue blood"?
It doesn't mean you have won a lot a games in the last 10 years or even 20 years! It means you have longevity and have been at the top of your game for decades.
I think UGA is more of a blue blood than LSU because of their legacy. Harvard is a blue blood in football not because their students are blue bloods, but because they helped start the game as we know it!
Which is what exactly?

Should put that 1908, what? Trophy?
No one gave them a trophy for the national title in 1908, so they don't claim to have one. It's not about what you "claim", it's about what's been AWARDED to you.
It's not rocket science.

Which other schools claim nc’s before 1936?

Princeton, Harvard, Yale. But of course, that was when they won the conference championship in the only football conference in the country. Also Rose Bowl winners often claim them as titles due to the invitational nature of the early Rose Bowls for selecting the top teams to play in the only post-season bowl game.

The banner on the score board. I agree, there is no trophy which is why I would suggest an *. It was awarded by the National Championship foundation retroactively. The * would indicate pre Consensus AP Poll era starting in 1936.
