You have several programs listed as a NO that have won NC’s inside your 25 year threshold. Florida actually has 2. So what gives??
I took him to be suggesting that perhaps you had to give more consideration to what teams have done in the past 25 years, but you still have to look historically as well.
The 1990s were really the first time Fla was ever considered to be a college football power.

Your answer right here. Thread wrapped. LSU is a modern blue blood, much like Clemson has become. There aren’t many, but as mentioned USC Nebraska and ND are older/retro blue bloods. Dallas is a retro blue blood, while NE is/was one of the modern era. Then you have retro and modern blue bloods like an Alabama or Michigan, whom have kept themselves relevant despite some slower seasons sprinkled in here and there.
Anyone not having LSU as a modern day blue blood has absolutely no idea, a 20 year period of THREE national championships, annual top ten finishes in polls and recruiting, being the NFL’s most productive factory (2nd in overall numbers, possibly 1st in quality), gives you a BLUE blood label…….

I see a lot of people heavily weighing the past 20 years of success at LSU as a basis to warrant their blue blood status. While I do not disagree this is greatly warranted, I think overwhelming success over a relatively short (20 year) period does not, on it's own, guarantee blue blood status.
Ex. Miami was arguably the best program from 83-01 winning 5 Nat Champ. But they were average to below average the rest of their history.
And if National Championships are a true measure, which power 5 school won 5 national championships in an 8 year span, 6 overall, and has never been mentioned as a blue blood? MINNESOTA. That's right, more NC than Texas, LSU, Penn State, Nebraska, Tenn, Georgia.
Of course no one considers Minnesota a blue blood anymore.

These are the only programs that you can’t argue LSU is better than. Then there’s a definite drop off after these 6 and then you could argue 5-6 teams are next, including LSU.

yep, cheating, buying players and law enforcement off, and ignoring any semblance of them having academic responsibilities can really help produce those amazing turnarounds
