That seems crazy to me considering how dominant they were for 40-50 years. I guess the bad bookends add up. But they are still blue blood all things considered.

What's crazy is that from 1962-2003, Nebraska never had a season below .500. Since 2004, however, they have finished below .500 nine times.

Since 2000. LSU has had one Losing season and 3 NC and 4 appearances. That’s better than every single program. We haven’t had a losing season until 2021.
That sounds great. What about the other 15 seasons since 2000 when LSU has had 3 losses (6 times) or 4-7 losses (9 seasons)?

This one is surprising, even with the awful conference.

They just had to vacate all wins from the 2012-2015 seasons too.

Including the 2019 season and only the 2019 season, LSU is the only undefeated team in college football (FBS).
I can’t expound because that’s all the tweet I stole it from contained and I’ve used up all my twitters for the day.

The 90s were brutal for LSU.
10 of LSU's 19 losing seasons occurred between 1981 & 1999 inclusive. 7 in the 90's plus 1 in 1989. 6 straight losing seasons from 1989-1995.

Still more NC than Ohio state

I'm sure a few were in the 90s when they stunk like Oklahoma.
90s opened the door for quite a few teams when these two bluebloods were down at the same time.

That's why it said blue blood. Meaning going back to a long time.

Sounds like us from 2005-2020. I can only hope that's behind us.
We had a similar dismal stretch from the mid 70s to the early 80s, although that one wasn't as severe.

Notre Dame has 11 championships. They are very clearly a blueblood.

There is only one true blue blood in college football and it is alabammer.
Roll damn tide!

Change the name from blue blood to WW1 and WWII winningest programs.
Posted on 7/1/23 at 7:50 pm to CP3LSU25
One more. I’ll take our consistent consistency as a top level program.

You can thank the lack of option style QBs for this. Plus nebraska always kept getting run blocking o linemen.

considering OSU's schedule every year, that is neither surprising nor remarkable.
