LSU is the greatest college baseball program since 1975 by far.

There’s been 11.7 since 1991. Miami, Tulane, Stanford just off the top of my head have had a shitload more success than USC in that timeframe.
Neither USC’s admins nor its fans care about baseball.

Since 1979 USC is an after thought in college baseball.
Yes I know they won in 1998.

No lol. We’re not defining blue bloods based on only what has happened in the past.
"Blue blood" socially means coming from old money, the aristocracy left over from feudal days. These are people who haven't done anything relevant in generations, centuries... other than be born into a specific family.
Jeff Bezos is not a Blue Blood; the Earl of East Anglia is.

USC is a no blood in college baseball. Get over it

Blue-blood doesn't mean currently dominant, it means having generations of past impact and power. Real blue-bloods (people) can trace their lineage a thousand years back to some Duke or Baron, and look down their noses at the newly rich. It doesn't matter if that current guy has just the land his house is on, he's a blue blood and Bill Gates is not.
You're stuck on terminology.

You’re stuck in the 1970’s. That was 44 years ago. 
I was born in 1981. They are nothing to college baseball unless you lived through world war 1 and 2.

USC has $60K tuition and only 11.7 scholarships due to the ridiculous NCAA rules. That's why USC is no longer a power.
Yeah USC isn't going to be great anytime soon.
High prospects aren't paying a 2nd mortgage for four years...it better be free or cheap or Minor League. LSU, Fullerton, among others are basically free in-state. That's like giving those schools 25 schoolies while private schools get 11.
The cheaper the poorer the school the more talent you'll get these days. Lori Loughlin ain't spending $500,000 to bribe Fullerton or Fresno State to accept her daughter on an athletic scholarship. That's how we get Oregon State, Fresno, LSU, Fullerton, etc. It doesn't cost much to fill a roster. Rice, Virginia, Stanford and especially USC have it hard...pricing themselves out of attracting talent.

Your standards seem to shift, disappear then reappear with every post you make.

Mississippi St has most championships since 2021 So what does that mean other than picking a random year.
ok let’s do the random year thing
2000
how many times has USC mattered? once? in 22 years…they’ve mattered once. that isn’t blue blood. Nebraska, Tennessee(sorry bros), Colorado etc etc, don’t matter
if you don’t live in the southeast, or the southern I-35 corridor, you don’t belong in this conversation

Then so is Notre Dame in football.
Both defined their sport, won the most in the 20th Century, we're the the most talked about, dominant, sent the most players to the Pros in history... And yes were there at the beginning... Ergo Blue Blood.
Not Johnny come lately.
When did Blue Blood become, you won were dominant the last 20 years but off the map before?
Have to have a footprint before the 80s, before the 90s.
USC is unquestionably #1.
Texas is unquestionably #2.
ASU is the sneaky always there consistent third probably...as OP says...Stanford gets no love but they're Top 5.
LSU is in there as new blood...top 5 program. But one of the few sports the Pac12 dominates as Bluebloods.

You must've been born in 1984. That's the extent of your baseball history. 1995 teenager and beyond. You have no education but childhood fandom. And you still don't even know what Blue blood means. College Baseball didn't start in the 90s. Lot of schools, lot of Conferences been playing it a long time. It doesn't start when you catch up.

You must have been born in 1940. USC isn’t relevant in college baseball for many many many many decades.

USC hasn’t been to Omaha since 2001. They haven’t won the pac 12 since 2002. They haven’t made the NCAA tournament since 2015, and only have 5 appearances since 2000. If you think USC is a blue blood or even relevant at all in college baseball, you’re extremely wrong.
They haven’t been relevant since 1979

Immaculata College and La Tech are blue bloods of WBB, UCONN is second tier

The whole concept of being a "blueblood" is that the name on the jersey carries such prestige that the team has a national following with regular appearances on premier networks, articles in NYT, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, etc. You should be able to walk up to any average sports fan in the country and ask how a blueblood's season is going and they could have a conversation with you.
In that regard. College baseball has no bluebloods.

USC is a blue blood, but they are very close to being the Nebraska of CBB. Very close.
