If Tenn is in that list….LSU certainly is!

I would easily rank ahead of Penn st and Tennessee, so yes they are a historically top 10 team.

We are not a blue blood

Blue Blood = Used to be good. These are the teams that dominated football when there was much less parity and a lot more cheating. LSU was on the outside most of those years particularly the 70s and 80s. We are definitely a "Blue Blood" now.

This is a silly question, because there are no such things as college football bluebloods. You can make a list of the most successful programs in history, but you’ll be surprised at the terrible teams that are near the top - like Army and Harvard.
You can give more weight to recent success, but now it depends on your weighting. All of this is to say, it’s a matter of opinion.
I can promise you that, around the country, LSU is considered one of the top five programs.

Absolutely yes. I don't think they were in that top tier prior to 2000 but I think the body work put together post 2000 has put them in the blue bloods.
I ask this question. Why would you say these schools are obvious
Texas
Penn state
Tennessee
Georgia
and not LSU?

Meh. Kind of a mixture of blue blood and modern powerhouse.

Blue Bloods:
Bama
OSU
Mich
TX
OU
ND
Borderline:
Penn St
UGA
Nebraska
Tennessee
Next Level Down:
Army
Clemson
Auburn
LSU
Michigan State
Pitt
The Florida schools, Oregon, Oklahoma State, are all new money and therefore not eligible.

If Penn State and Georgia are, then we most certainly are.

Yes. LSU is a blueblood.

Modern day but haven’t yet earned a true seat at the table. Partly attributable to our isolated market.
We love our tigers fiercely but are just gaining outside fandom.

If we could fill our stadium we would be one.
Posted on 10/30/22 at 7:32 am to theantiquetiger
If we win another NC in the next 3 or 4 years i would say yes. Right now proably 10 or 11. With another NC we should be 7 or 8.

Yes, we are a blue blood. That is why Brian Kelly left Notre Dame to come here.

I would say LSU is barely outside of it.
Bama, ND, Michigan, Ohio St., USC, and Texas would be historical "blue bloods". Basically schools that have been top programs for over 50-60 years.
LSU would need a few more national championships to really make the case otherwise.
Notre Dame will eventually fallout of being a blue blood but I've got them in that group for now.

I really hate this moniker. It doesn’t mean shite
Posted on 10/30/22 at 8:11 am to theantiquetiger
Honestly I’m about the here and now.
I am excited about what LSU is building right now.
