its pretty accurate. We would probably be 8 had we not been blanked since 07

I'd pick Canes over Big Blue.

If Nebraska doesn't turn things around soon, they will fade into irrelevance.
Posted on 8/25/16 at 2:06 pm to PhillyFan1994
15 years ago we would have been around 20.

Historically you say! Well FSU was a dammed girl's school until ? In football, nothing until the 70's? How is this more deserving than LSU? I've not seen anything in the 1st 10-12 replies to this thread and no not going to ESPN site...Iboycottdit

If we win a 4th national title this year and Leonard Fournette wins the Heisman, we will still likely be behind UT and Nebraska.
Both schools have over 100 more victories than us; both have four national titles. We'd tie UT with two Heisman winners. Nebraska has four (three individuals).
Shoot Penn State has a better overall record. They too only have one Heisman and we beat them currently in national titles, 3 to 2.

Well................its because we aren't.

That's absolutely the list of blue bloods, although I admittedly think of Nebraska as a member of the next tier. They will never come close to their previous glory due to recruiting and conference realignment.
Ranking LSU #9 is pretty generous. I don't see how you can rank us above Tennessee. They have more SEC titles, wins and own the head-to-head over LSU by a pretty decent margin. We have one more NC and Heisman winner, but I definitely think they're still #2 in the SEC all time.

Since we are talking "all time," can't argue with the blue bloods.
Nine is an excellent rating.

EXACTLY the 8 that should have been chosen. Only young little girls are the ones whining otherwise.
LSU is in a GREAT position at #9. We are trending up, while #8 Nebraska and #10 Penn St are trending down. We are almost exactly rated between those 2 historic programs. Historically Nebraska has dominated LSU on the field (LSU = 0-5-1 vs. 'Huskers) and they have 5 NC's and 3 Heismans. So we are still looking up a few years longer.

Very fair ranking, oerhaps, maybe even too generous.
When I think "blue blood", I think Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, and UCLA.
I generally rank LSU all time in the top 20, but not top 10. Currently, they're top 10, but not all time.

True meaning of Blue Bloods would be schools like.
Navy
Army
ND
Mich
Rutgers
Penn
Princeston
Yale
Harvard
If you want to say the best since 1950 then OK. But the true meaning of Blue Bloods in College Football are the originals.

9th all time? That's great. 
Only one team ahead that there is really any consideration otherwise and that's Texas.

LSU Isn't a blue blood. #9 is just fine.
Posted on 8/25/16 at 4:03 pm to PhillyFan1994
A top 10 alltime program is a blue blood.

I've been here telling you folks for years LSU is, and always will be a "Tier 2" program in CFB.
The Mulligan Bowl after our 2011 season solidified that.
If LSU were a "Blue Blood" or Tier 1 Media Darling, a rematch would have never happened. They would have played Oklahoma State.
OR...
Had Oklahoma State just been regular old Oklahoma, LSU would have played them.
Looking back, 2011 pretty much solidified who the blue bloods were in two conferences if anyone was paying attention.
Anyway, back to your fantasies...

Sounds like a Natty and a John Heisman this year gets us in!!! Something to shoot for.
Posted on 8/25/16 at 4:22 pm to PhillyFan1994
I think 9 is a little generous. Before I opened the link I put my list of 8 down and missed on Nebraska. They have the history but I gave a little more weight to past 10 or so years. I would have Fl St in over them but realize they weren't a big time program until Bobby Bowden took over.

FOUR DAMMIT.
Solid list, I always put us just outside blue-blood but top 10.
