They had 7 ncaa tourney berths before 1980 when K took over. Not that relevant.

You've gotta remember that only 1 team per conference made the tournament back then.

The basic definition of a blueblood is a program that has been elite for most of its existence. LSU football’s elite play started in the 2000’s.
Ok. So by that definition several of those teams listed are out.

Who do recruits and modern viewers view as The Powerhouses?
UGA, Bama, LSU, Florida, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan, Clemson, USC, Texas, Miami (still has “the cool” factor for now), Notre Dame, (maybe) FSU, (maybe) Oregon
That blue blood list is as relevant as one for “blue blood American cities” - no one cares about Detroit or Cleveland anymore.

Nebraska has been terrible for quite a while.
Not true. They were still hitting 9 wins a year all the way through Bo's tenure. Even Mike Riley led them to a 9-win season in 2016. They didn't start really sucking until 2017 (Riley's last season) and through Frost's tenure.
Regardless, they have an all-time record of 878-392-37, with 43 conference championships, 5 national championships, and 3 Heisman winners. Definitely a blueblood.

People don’t really get the term blue blood and what it means.
They just think it means the best right now or somewhat recently. Blue blood status is all about historic success as well as success over a long period of time.

Read my previous post, nobody can touch Oklahoma for historical sustained success. They've never wandered in the desert for periods like Bama and USC.
Plus their 47 game winning streak has only been approached by USC (35) and Miami (34).
That poster that said LSU is like Oklahoma. Shite, even USC isn't like Oklahoma's history. People don't do their homework, its Johnny come lately.

Looking at the last 100 years, LSU has 4 national titles in 3 different decades and runner up in a 4th decade. Two Heisman winners. That is more than anything Michigan has and will ever do. It’s absurd media bias they are even in consideration. In fact Penn State has a better argument.
Similarly Nebraska was relevant because of 1 man. They haven’t had sustained success and I don’t see how they will ever get back to a national title contender. I’d argue that if applying the same standards for Nebraska to Miami then Miami is more successful program.
Texas I don’t know enough about but I’m sure it’s 99% overhype just like Michigan since they are Texas given my observations over the last 40 years. Vince Young is all that has made them relevant.

I was more responding to the thread in general. Of course OU is a blue blood. People saying Nebraska isn’t is sort of ridiculous. Being a blue blood is all about pedigree and you’re allowed to go back awhile for that.
And Nebraska has an outstanding CFB pedigree.

Michigan is first all-time in wins and third all-time in winning percentage. They also have three Heisman winners to LSU's two and have 44 conference championships to LSU's 16.

I would say Ohio State has been more sustained. Oklahoma was not good between Switzer and Stoops. Ohio State only has a single losing season since the 80s (6-7 record after Tressel's firing)

Where is Harvard? 8 National championships.

It's kind of comical how some people still don't understand the general concept of what a blue blood is. It's not based on the last 2 years or even the last 30 yeras. It's literally an alltime 100+ year collection of data. ND sucks but they are still obviously and very much a blue blood. LSU and UGA have wrecked shop in the 21st century, but neither are blue bloods.

I'd agree with Ohio State on sustainability. They've never really had a down period.
