Dude Oklahoma won in 2000. And played for another one 7 years later.... not even close to a comparison to be made here

Respectfully disagree. I don’t think you can gain blue blood status at this point. But enough sucking and blue blood status is lost. If everything keeps as is for the next 10 years I’m refusing to acknowledge Nebraska as a blue blood. Penn state and Tennessee are getting close too

C'mon Alabama guy, Oklahoma at least plays the rest of the conference.
When UGA won in 1980, they did not play 3 of the 4 other best teams in the SEC - Alabama, LSU, and Miss State.
Florida and LSU were tied for 4th from the top or 6th from the bottom. UGA played one of 2 from that pair and everybody below them and that is it.
They beat Florida on that Lindsey Scott play that was something of a fluke and then ND in the bowl. ND lost their last game of the season TWENTY TO THREE to USC.
The reason they have not won since 1980 is they have not had such a fluky season of scheduling good luck since.
What do you have to play in a normal year? 8 SEC games?
Some year let them play only Vandy, UK, USC, Arky, MSU, Ole Miss, Missouri, and whoever the worst of the rest is and maybe they will win another natl championship.

They beat Clemson by 4 points. Clemson went 6-5 that year.
They beat Tennessee by 1 point. Tennessee went 5-6 that year.
They whipped TAMU. TAMU went 4-7 that year.
They whipped TCU. TCU went 1-10 that year.
They beat Ole Miss by a TD. Ole Miss went 3-8 that year.
They whipped Vandy. Vandy went 2-9 that year.
They beat Kentucky. Kentucky went 3-8 that year.
They beat South Carolina by 3 points. South Carolina went 8-4 that year.
They beat Florida by 5 points. Florida went 8-4 that year.
They beat Auburn by 10 points. Auburn went 5-6 that year.
They beat Georgia Tech by 18 points. Georgia Tech went 1-9-1 that year.
They beat Notre Dame by a TD. Notre Dame went 9-2-1 that year.
So Georgia played 3 teams with a winning record and won by a combined 15 points.
Good lord, I never knew their schedule was so awful. That might be the worst EVER schedule for a National Champion I've ever seen. A lot of teams could've won the National Championship with that schedule.
Their opponents went 55-78-2 that year.
And people rag on BYU's National Title.

Yea that’s why I don’t think Oklahoma is the best example of what the point of the thread is
The title is a swipe at UGA, but it seems pretty obvious that the point of the thread is Oklahoma's championship drought.
There's not even a direct comparison to UGA being made. He's asking if OU's blue blood status should come into question if this drought continues.

Michigan has won 1 national championship since 1957 and it was a shared title. Let’s quit acting like Michigan is still a blue blood. It’s the most overrated program in the country and has been since the ‘50s. They used to call the Big Ten the Big 2 and the Little 8. That tells you all you need to know about the degree of difficulty Michigan had for years and why they would always get their asses kicked in the Rose Bowl.

Since 1950 Michigan has won the Rose Bowl 5 times and lost it 12 times.
And back then most Conferences had just two really good programs if not just one. Michigan and Ohio State were the Conference just like Nebraska and Oklahoma.
And lets not not act like the SEC had competitors to Alabama. Alabama would breeze through the Conference in the 60's and 70's and then lose their bowl game to Notre Dame or Texas or USC.
SEC was not the SEC it became in the 2000's. Not by a long-shot...in fact it was seen as inferior because in the 50's and 60's it was only playing slow white boys.

Wait I know you are right but did they not play in 2008 for the championship? All the sudden you got me thinking I’m misremembering

The SEC had 3 different teams win
NC's in the 50's and 4th (Georgia
Tech) had a legitimate claim to another.

SEC did just fine in the 90's with 3 different teams winning a NC and one other in the 80's.
The BIG had a grand total of one in that time period.

BS. If it was seen as "inferior"
how come 3 different programs were voted #1 by the AP 50's? Alabama wasn't one of em BTW.

bullshite. Time takes care of everything.
Nobody gives a shite about the ivy leagues who dominated everything 100 years ago.
People have even shorter memories these days. Another decade or 2 of mediocrity from the likes of Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan, and they'll join the ranks of Minnesota and Iowa.

22 years is much more embarrassing than 40 years without a nc title. Without Cam, Auburn would be looking at 60ish gears.

Michigan as a current blueblood is a joke.

Why do people keep saying this?
CFB as big time didn't really start until the 1920s.
Harvard was done by then at really the start of the sport.
Army was good when we had wars. They had all the players.
Those two wouldn't be considered blue bloods. Rutgers isn't a blueblood just because it played in the the first CFB game...more like Rugby two decades after the Civil War.
Blubloods are 20th Century powers which were dominant with sustained excellence. Which is why Stanford isn't a Blueblood despite being powerful at the start of the 20th Century.
The old guard can't change though. You don't take the winningest program of all-time (Michigan) and say they aren't a Blueblood anymore.
People are hung up on National Titles.
You know for 95% of its history CFB titles are mythical? An arbitrary subjective vote by people who probably never played the game.
Shite some schools use retroactive computers to claim titles.
How many games did Michigan win in 100 years? Hint...more than anyone back when Midwest football was king and had all the best players.
How many Conference championships did Michigan win?
That's how you measure a program. Not taking your view of the Big10 today and applying it 40 years ago because then you don't know your CFB history.
