texas is NOT a blue blood program. they're a big brand and a money-making machine, but in terms of actual football success, they're not a historically great program

They have more national championships in the poll era than Michigan

No, they are no longer still a blue blood. They were recently; now they aren't.

I’d take out Nebraska and USC. USC has the argument of past success but their last 15 years have been dreadful

Everytime the top college football programmes are mentioned in Podcasts, LSU is mentioned in the top 4 or 5. That's good enough for me.

LOL at Nebraska - you may as well mention Navy

Woohoo more people who don’t know what a blue blood is. The blue bloods don’t change. It’s not about recent success. It’s about success over the history of the sport and dominating in the early days.

2016 Music City Bowl loss to Tennessee was the last time Nebraska was in a bowl game.

No Princeton or Yale?
This list is shite.

Blue bloods are irrelevant in college football. It’s more about the “powerhouses”

Powerhouses:

Alabama
Michigan
Ohio State
Notre Dame
OU
Texas
Georgia
LSU
Clemson

Maybe USC/Florida/Miami

Yes, they are.

And beyond wins and titles, Texas has great influence historically by popularizing the wishbone offense that Alabama and Oklahoma also used to great success.
