Many don't include em but borderline teams are Penn St, Nebraska, FSU, TN, GA and LSU. 

Agree on Nebraska and Penn State. There was a time, maybe 20 years ago that Nebraska was a definite blue blood, but they’ve had such a steep decline that they may have come down a notch. Penn State at one time was maybe blue blood, but I’m not sure they were ever solidly in that category, and have faded a bit.

 ... good convo

Penn State over Florida State? Penn State over Nebraska?  Penn State over Florida?  I guess we need an operational definition of "blue blood".

Lot's of recency bias in that list, but agree, interesting conversation.🤘

For me, yep. Penn State is a top 10 modern era program in about every metric used to calculate … even James Franklin has stacked up 10 win seasons and 4 more AP Poll top 10 finishes for Penn State - he just hasn’t gotten the program over the hump.

I probably have Nebraska too low on my personal list … but college football has changed so much in the last 25 years, and none of it has been good for Nebraska staying in that convo 

So much of a list like this is determined by how many year window one really includes IMO
