Like 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, "there are only eight blue bloods in college football". Them the rules, they have long been enshrined.... And by consensus over the last 100 years there's 8....can't change it now.

So you have to take 1 off your list....either Penn State or Nebraska....and its probably Penn State.

They really should have split that title. They got punished for playing a shitty Oregon team in the Rose Bowl.

A Nebraska vs. Penn State title game would have been amazing. ‘94 was one of the main reasons we got the BCS.

I will state it for the third time: Texas is not a blue blood.

The blue bloods won every AP title from 1961-75, when scholarship limits were at their loosest.


Sounds like NIL is the new loosey-goosey scholarship rules....

And far from the Playoffs inviting parity....will only invite a Blue blood stranglehold on the sport....you know, school's with Alums who care.

Forget the term BlueBlood, it should be Green Blood, for the color of money.

Other than recency bias there isn’t much separating LSU and UGA. And my god can you gloyts postpone this gay arse blueblood debate until spring ball or something

Blueblood just seems like and old fogie term at this point. Notre Dame is a blueblood because they were on TV and good 40 years ago. Cool.

Texas is not a blue blood. They have one title in over 50 years and have gone through several multi year runs of irrelevancy.

College football is the most tradition bound sport on the planet. That’s why bluebloods are so prized and fans are levitating so high about the changes.

Tigerdroppings’ infatuation with Ole Miss is fascinating to me. They haven’t won shite but a couple of portal national championships but this place is constantly sucking them off.


It’s fricking insane

Penn State is more of a Blue Blood than Texas is.

Jurevicius was actually the punter on the 94 team and played hardly any snaps at WR until the Rose Bowl.

Yup, there’s only been 1 decade since the 1960’s that Texas has out performed PSU, and that was the 2000’s. Same with USC.

AP voters and his fellow coaches gave it to "Dr. Tom" because he said he was going to retire (he didn't) and had never won the title.

That Penn State offense might've been better than 2005 USC.

Their TD scoring drives averaged 1.3 minutes.
