The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Applejack]

I won't argue you that point, my post wasn't directed towards you. I just smile at the transparency of the smack talk among the two fan bases. Like 9 straight wins isn't enough to satisfy the superiority complex, they have to shit on any positives that happens to BYU.

9 straight wins is enough to satisfy my superiority complex. But 10 will be nice too.

Not Miami? Not Florida State?

lol yeah ACC is way more blue blood than elite especially this year.

Not Miami? Not Florida State?

Are they blue bloods though? Much like Florida, they were once elite but I don't think they should be considered a blue blood. They moved the needle nationally when they were good, but don't really anymore. Texas moves the needle regardless of how good they are. So does ND and USC. It's a small club.

Miami and FSU absolutely move the needle nationally.

How many teams would you consider a blue blood in football?

Alabama
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Texas
USC

Probably still considered but losing the status quickly

Michigan
Nebraska

You would put FSU and Miami in there? No Florida?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Miami and FSU are not blue bloods. Come on.

There are only about 7-8 real blue bloods.

[Flystripper]

Says who? Says you? Penn State is also a Blue blood

[Flystripper]

Blue bloods are not necessarily elite (though many are) but have a strong national tradition spanning decades. *my definition*

[old_gregg]

michigan is clearly an elite program.

Nope not elite anymore but it was their blue blood reputation that allowed them to get Harbaugh (who most people thought was a great hire at the time)
