Interesting Exercise:
Name who you would consider the media's Top 20 "Blue Bloods" of College Football, and does their 15 - 20 year actual production make them deserving of the title, or is this just another farce based on a biased and lazy media.
Be interesting to see how they really perform year in and year out.
My list (67 years old) In no particular order (A&M not available to be considered in because of my incredible bias).
Alabama
Texas
Notre Dame
USCw
OU
tOSU
Michigan
LSU
Clemson
Florida
Georgia
Nebraska (?)
Stanford (?)
Tennessee (?)
Miami (?)
Auburn (?)
Florida State (?)
Iowa (?)
Michigan State (?)
Wiscy (?)
Taking A&M out of the discussion, I could only come up with 11 names that I would truly crown as Blue Bloods, and not really sure about Clemson historically.
In reality, with the exception of Bama, Georgia, Ohio State, and maybe ND, everybody else has, for the past 15-20 years, earned their reputation feasting on a constant diet of weak ass teams week in and week out (remember the SWC in the 90s ?)
In fact, in the 37 meetings since schollie limits, The Ags have a winning record against that "blue blood" (bullsh*t, cough) program in Austin
