Is Clemson officially a CFB new blood?
Posted on 1/8/19 at 12:44 pm

The consensus CFB blue blood programs are as follows:
Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska
The following eight programs are generally seen as "new bloods," or the tier immediately below:
LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Florida State, Miami, Penn State
With 2 titles in 3 years (along with another in 1980), does Clemson officially belong in that second tier?

Nebraska has not been relevant since the 90’s.

You'd think you'd need more than 1 title in the past 70 years to still be considered a blue blood.

I’d put them towards the front of the new blood tier. By 2030 they could move into the top category.

There should be a separate tier for overrated and dead programs like Michigan and Nebraska
Posted on 1/8/19 at 12:49 pm to karmew32
As to your OP, yes, Clemson is in whatever tier you would put LSU and UF in, for instance.

By the time Clemson's current run is over, it will be looked at like 80's Miami in terms of success.
So yeah, they'll join that newer tier of teams as time passes.

Fringe top 10 program of the old days, and def top 10 program of the new blood days
Clemson and Florida can only claim the second part of that statement

I have always found this argument interesting. What do you do with schools like Minnesota? Minnesota has 7 claimed national titles!!
679 Wins
7 National Titles - 1904', 34', 35', 36', 40', 41', 60'
18 Conference Titles
1 Heisman
33 All Americans
By Comparison with LSU:
791 Wins
3 National Titles - 1958', 03', 07'
15 Conference Titles
1 Heisman
35 All Americans
By these standards, these two schools belong in the same category. Minnesota is one of the most overlooked schools in the history of college football when you take everything into consideration.

Texas and Nebraska aren’t blue bloods

That is true. Blue Blood program evaluation must encompass the entire history of college football. I would do a ranking based on wins, win percentage, conference titles national titles, and players produced--award winners, All-Americans, etc for the 150 year history of college football. That's the most objective way to do it.

This needs to be updated. If you're going to include Michigan and Nebraska, hell, why not include Minnesota or Pitt as well.
The "consensus" blue bloods IMO are

Looks like a crock of shite. The important points, national champions aren't even close.

A little town in South Carolina is not going to attract to produce anything like 80's Miami.
They play in an insanely easy conference and to their credit they showed up for the biggest game of the year last night, but their "dynasty" is an optical illusion.

Kudos to Wikipedia, it looks like Minnesota football didn’t play in a bowl game until 1960 (lost). Prior to that the conference or school elected to not play in bowl games.
And there’s your worthless piece of sports trivia!
