Is Miami considered a Blue Blood football program?

Is Nebraska?

Coug98

12/28/24 4:11pm

I would say that they’d be welcomed back into the club after one 10 win season.

Didn't they only become D1 in the 70s or 80s?

BYUBandfan

12/28/24 4:12pm

I think they've been division 1 since the divisions were created.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:18pm

They have won a few championships. And they're recruiting like a blue blood.

russkiejedi

12/28/24 4:12pm

No. I'd say they were from the 80s until the early 00s but not anymore.

Manti

12/28/24 4:12pm

No, even though they won a bunch in the 90s they have fallen on hard times and are not in in the sec or Big10

BYU Grounds

12/28/24 4:13pm

More than most BIG and SEC schools

ExitStageLeft

12/28/24 4:15pm

No. USC, Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Texas.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:15pm

Add UGA and Clemson and your list is complete.

AeroCoug

12/28/24 4:20pm

LSU, Florida, Oregon?

Odysseus

12/28/24 4:22pm

Oregon? No championships and a short history.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:23pm

LSU and florida have only spent about 20 years at the top and oregon

FieroCoug

12/28/24 4:25pm

I’d say Florida & Florida St definitely deserve it

Odysseus

12/28/24 4:36pm

Florida State's history doesn't go back as far as the others.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:38pm

FSU finished top 5 every year from 1987-2000

Odysseus

12/28/24 5:52pm

That's not exactly a long time.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 7:02pm

Your criteria is nonsense. Nebraska has their first winning season since 2016

AeroCoug

12/28/24 7:16pm

Not everyone can be a blue bloods.

Jeffacka

12/29/24 6:48am

But a team that has been below average for the last 30 years can be. Got it.

AeroCoug

12/29/24 7:50am

Exactly. But listen Jeff knows who the blue bloods are

chitownboy

12/29/24 7:58am

Their success stretches from 1977-2023. That’s longer than I’ve been alive and

Odysseus

12/28/24 7:18pm

Shorter than I've been alive, not that that matters, but I'm firm in my stance.

great programs for sure but their top success only spans 20 years.

Odysseus

12/28/24 5:50pm

i mean florida was really good in the 90s. extremely hit or miss since then.

FieroCoug

12/28/24 5:55pm

Neither are blue bloods.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:22pm

Clemson? No.

DudeBro

12/28/24 4:23pm

Short history.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:38pm

the best that UGA and clemson have done is really good, but the blue bloods have

FieroCoug

12/28/24 4:24pm

Nebraska hasn’t done anything for 3 decades. I mentioned Nebraska

chitownboy

12/28/24 5:25pm

i didn’t say anything about nebraska. but even if i did, nebraska

FieroCoug

12/28/24 6:03pm

I know they have a storied history. But no they were bad in 2015 and 2007.

chitownboy

12/28/24 6:19pm

Nebraska is no where close to a blue bool anymore. They were for a long time

mudpupper

12/28/24 4:23pm

You’re missing some teams

chitownboy

12/28/24 4:23pm

Nope. It's not like the special olympics.

Jeffacka

12/28/24 4:39pm

Wow super funny. Georgia is a definite. Nebraska hasn’t won anything since

chitownboy

12/28/24 5:25pm

Not in my opinion, but I consider Blue Blood to be a small group

reddead

12/28/24 4:15pm

Board name checks out

C-dubb

12/28/24 4:17pm

Yes. There are lots of blue bloods. Any team winning multiple NC’s in last 30

Idacoug

12/28/24 4:16pm

Only if you still own a rotary phone

CougarCanuck76

12/28/24 4:19pm

no. they were only good for like 20 years. they were insane those 20 years

FieroCoug

12/28/24 4:21pm

Blue blood probably over used. Maybe storied and history of dominance. They’ve been up and down since the 80s-90s

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/28/24 4:28pm

I hate the term "blue blood". As your post hints, who knows what it means?
