How many blue bloods are there?
What programs are classified as CFB blue bloods? What about CBB?

How much longer can we consider Nebraska a blue blood? I feel like they are going to fall off and will never get back to where they were. Just don't think they have a good area to recruit in. Which all the other blue bloods do.

Notre Dame is a rare program that can recruit anywhere. The SEC teams have the best recruiting grounds. Texas and Oklahoma own Texas and USC has California. Let's face it Nebraska doesn't stack up.

It maybe very hard for them to re establish those recruiting pipelines paticularly in Texas and California which may have been lost since Osborne retired and they left the BIG 12. Bo Pelini has actually been a upgrade from their previous coaches since Osborne. |

They certainly did this year and I'm guessing they will continue to do so. I don't think any school has their mix of history and academics.

If they had the same level of talent that Alabama had in the national title game, it certainly didn't show up. I don't think current recruits care as much about Norte Dames history since none were probably not even born yet the last time Norte Dame won a big bowl game. |

Same place they've recruited the last 40 years? You mean back when Nebraska was one of a handful of teams that were on TV a lot, and kids from states that didn't have schools with that level of media coverage would regularly commit to teams like Nebraska so they could play at someplace that was on TV a lot? That ship has sailed. Even Sun Belt teams are on TV for most of their games. Nebraska and Tennessee are in the same boat - they are both great programs, lots of support, great facilities, but forced to recruit against home state teams without what used to be their trump card - an almost exclusive level of TV and media coverage compared to the home state teams. And neither sits on a hotbed of NFL caliber talent. They can still be great with a great coach, but they have to work a lot harder at it than they did 40 years ago. And they have to work a lot harder than an Ohio State, USC, or Texas does. 40 years ago they were closer to the level of those three programs (in terms of recruiting competitiveness) than they are today. |

Over time, a team can move up or drop down, but it won't happen just because of a few down years, it needs to be 15 down years or up years at a low or high level, I'd opine. Some of those programs may be "trending down" or "trending up", but that is a nice list. Arkansas might be considered in the Honorable Mention category, and Oregon has been stepping it up of late. Programs like South Carolina and K State have too much history to overcome right now.  "Perfection is the enemy of good enough."

Re: How many blue bloods are there?
Nebraska is doing "OK" now, having decent seasons, but it's not clear that they will ever return to those mid-90's kinds of teams that destroyed everyone they played.
