Which college football programs are the true “blue bloods” (link)
- Thread starter LookSharp
- Start date
That list looks pretty spot-on.
- success spanning decades
- multiple successful head coaches
- multiple titles
Yeah, I'd have them as the first to drop off the list, but it could be argued either way.
Texas in the SEC will cause them to fall off that list quickly as they will probably never get a sniff at the SEC title game, much less a play-off spot.
I get that it is based on history, but the longer Nebraska stays completely irrelevant (with no improvement in sight), the more I start to wonder how much longer they will really belong on this list.
Agreed with the above that Texas will be hurt by their move to the SEC.
EDIT also Clemson shouldn't be ahead of Tennessee

not all blue bloods win titles
Michigan's bonafides = the helmet, the victors, the game, and I suppose their all time number of wins
Yeah, it's the wins for Michigan that puts them in that group.
If PSU were playing at a higher level recently we would be on that list.
Nittany Nation must not have seen this poll. I didn’t. Another 11% out of 170,000 votes is nothing for us to overcome, given the chance. It’s the old Natty’s vs total body of work discussion.
Well, PSU is on the list if you extend it to ten, which is sort of the standard for this kind of thing.
Neither one would put PSU in that list. Biggest negatives there are success under a single coach, limited to 1 decade, no conference until mid 90s. Having only 2 titles with the last one 35 years ago isn't going to overcome those.
