No. The term Blue Blood means aristocrat, established, been around a long time, i.e "old money". The ones you mentioned certainly do qualify for that, with teams like LSU, Nebraska, and Tennessee being just outside.

Teams like Miami, FSU, Clemson, and possibly Oregon (if they ever manage to win something) would be considered "new money".

To put it in a real world comparison.

Rockefellers or Gettys = Old Money
Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos = New Money
Thank you. I normally have to come in here and explain this. He meant "Elite" not "Blue Blood."
