re: LSU not ranked by ESPN as one of 8 "Blue-Blood" CFB Programs

I think a #9 ranking is appropriate. Immediately after reading the title of the thread, my reaction was that LSU was a solid top 15 , and I figured we'd be around #12. I kind of expected Penn State and FSU would be ahead of us. However, after looking at the list, I do not believe we belong in the top 8, but I can now certainly agree with a #9 ranking. FSU prior to Bobby Bowden was insignificant. The same can be said of Florida prior to Spurrier. Frankly , I had no idea PSU had only 2 national titles. What really helps us is Billy Cannon and the 1958 title.
