So...Who are the real 'Blue Blood' College Football Programs?

[Sgt Brutus]

Fish Gilbert grape had the ball with three minutes and time outs down by three. Colt would have destroyed you.

Too bad he pussied out to save his NFL stock

 

[Chewbaccer]

Yeah USC just has the most college players drafted into the NFL all time the most Pro Bowlers all time ,the Most players in the Hall of fame , tied for the most Heismans the most college football all Americans.
Your "criteria" is trash.

Neat.

How old are Peyton Manning's kids?

Not sure. How old are Tee Martin's kids as well? I never thought he got the respect that he deserved.

I think if Erik Ainge had stayed off Heroin, we would have gotten an SEC Championship during his time (2004-2007).

And I could say the same about Bama and Clemson if Bo hadn't gotten hurt. Difference is I choose not to live in an alternate universe.

Michigan being listed as one of these programs and not being a major player on a yearly basis since the forward pass and facebar facemasks have existed is comical.

michigan is a blue blood. LSU is not. Such is life, whether you agree with it or not.

No, Texas is not a blue blood. Texas, as a state, has a rich football heritage and culture, no doubt. But the Texas Longhorns? Not a blueblood.

Really ?

1938 season
USC played

Alabama
Oregon State
Ohio State
Washington State
Stanford
Oregon
Cal
Washington
UCLA
Notre Dame
Duke

Almost 20 years later (1955) FSU played

NC state
VPI
Georgia
G tech
Villanova
Furman
The Citadel
Miss Southern
Tampa

So 20 years after USC was playing what would be a a good schedule today FSU was playing 6 schools that dont even play big boy football or dont even exist out of nine games. I bet you count those win though right? lol

I'm going to help you out some before you do more damage to your name.

mcubed.net : NCAAF Football : Series records : Florida St vs. Miami FL

The above site linked...shows the records of all the current FBS schools, but it only shows
the results of games played against the current members of the FBS.

All the folks that are not big-boy football are eliminated from the totals.

What you are going to find is that 184 total games have been removed from your all-time
record. Now you are in your 129th year of football. Dividing the former by the latter
you have played an average of 1.4 teams per year that are not in big boy football.

FSU has had 87 games removed from the 70 years that we have played football. n average
of 1.2 per year.

Sorry, but y'all have played more stiffs than we have.

We passed you guys 50 years ago and we haven't looked back since.

btw...Just click on the title "series records". That will list all 130 members of the FBS

Never said LSU but Meatchicken is a dog shit program if Jim Harbaugh, the dude that won at Stanford, can’t make your team relevant.

pitt has the 7th most all time national championships

pitt has the 7th most all time national championships

Then that makes them a Blue Blood by some of these peoples defenition. Relevancy to college football plays no factor. So Yale is by defenition a Blue Blood too.

Gay thread is gay.

Indeed.

Careful, can't un-see what follows ...

[thunderc]

Texas is most certainly not a blue blood.

Harvard and Penn also have 7 a piece, add them to the list!

There is no such thing as a true "blue blood" CFP anymore. Kids don't decide on schools just because of their name, they don't know the history, the tradition, ect. Back in the day if a kid received a scholarship from Notre Dame and they were academically qualified they would drop all the other scholarships because ND was on the TV every week. The few blue bloods that existed were the one's that could afford the amazing facilities, weight room, etc. Now, nearly all colleges have those same things to offer. Texas could pull a recruit by simply showing interest but not anymore.

Now days the kids care about these four factors.

1.) Will I have a chance to play
2.) Does the team have a winning culture/fun
3.) Will I be on TV
4.) Will I have a chance to make the NFL

After that it's the coach and not the history/traditions who must convince the recruits that they have all four of these factors. Other factors is friends and family ties, weather, and education can play a role as well.

In the end the blue bloods are a thing of the past and their time is up and the New Bloods time is now.
