Yeah, and I'm really not sure about FSU. Seems like a "blue blood" shouldn't go 2-10 in any given season.
Can't blame them for leaving PSU out. Until last season, we hadn't really been a serious playoff contender (except maybe 2016) and recruiting still not at an elite level imho.

Yeah, but blue blood is a lot more than recent history - it’s the foundational programs that have had success for generations. I think PSU is firmly in that camp; Georgia is an absolutely Johnny Come Lately and what the hell has Tennessee ever done? FSU has the rings, so they’re third out after UT and Miami.

That was the question I had when considering. How much does weight does historical get vs recent. I leaned more recent. If more historical, PSU definitely gets more consideration. I think that Georgia does too though. The won in 1980 (and 1942 fwiw) and had some really good teams in that time period. Their recent success locks them in for me.
Agree on Tennessee with regard to more recent weighting. They do claim a number of nattys though.

Exactly. No Georgia. No Tennessee. No Miami. No FSU.
Here is the rest of the Top 20. This is all colleges, all divisions in the NCAA. Note that PSU and Yale are tied for 7 with 943.

I think this year we surpass them. Fingers crossed.
