    Here is the blue blood list per https://www.gambleonline.co/blog/who-are-the-blue-bloods-of-college-football/

    1. Bama
    2. Michigan
    3. Nebraska
    4. The Irish
    5. Ohio St
    6. Oklahomo
    7. Texas
    8. USC

      and the ones that barely missed out
      UGA
      Penn State
      LSU
      FSU
      Florida
      Miami
      Clemson
      Tennessee
      Auburn
      Washington
    Edit - We are the bottom of the elites I think
    If I had to make a list of "blue bloods,'' one of the eliminating criteria would be not having a title in the last 20 years. Or pick another number.

    To me, the programs that matter now and have mattered for quite some time are:

    Alabama
    Ohio State
    LSU
    Clemson
    Georgia - just gets in for back to back, but let's not forget who they've been for a quite a while. A ton of recency bias in this one.
    Oklahoma, and though they win consistently and play at a high level, they are on the cusp of falling off since they don't tend to get it done on the big stage. Last natty was 2000, and as it is it was flawed. Even Miami's is more recent.

    The rest is mental masturbation.

    I might add USC, but then thought, nah. They were dominant under Pete, but were mostly flaccid for a bit before Pete and have been mostly mediocre since. Plus, there are enough Huskies? stroking them as it is. We? don't need another one.

    How is Florida State left off that list? 14 years in the top 5 is not something every-day-progams accomplish. They've won a shit-ton of major bowls, produced a lot of really great players (and still do) and have 3 natties. All of this accomplished post-civil war. If Auburn, UW, Tennessee and PSU are on this list, then so are the Seminoles. It's not even a discussion.

    lol

    FSU is Florida State University last I checked.

    Washington bottom of the elites? Yeah - I think that's putting it about right.

    Rick turned UW into Florida State of the West. Some people forget that
    Florida State of the West > Clemson of the West

    Rick was a messiah, when he started playing guitar, I fell in love with the program.
