When you say bluebloods, are you talking actual play on the field or...

...how much those programs are getting paid by their TV deals? I only see two true "bluebloods" on that list for "on field performance," which are UGA and Bama. Everyone else is 2nd tier behind the clear leaders. That doesn't mean they can't make it there, but they are definitely a step behind.

Don’t have the resources or NIL of any of those schools. Get used to it **
3TechFanz • 05/13/23 04:48 PM ET
Well, frankly, I don’t think his goatee qualifies as being in our top 25.
HOKIEGOBBLE • 05/13/23 09:14 AM ET
Unfortunately it shows where we are as a program.
GSOHokie01 • 05/13/23 08:01 AM ET
IMHO...From a long Time VT fan..
JRHokie • 05/13/23 10:53 AM ET
Best we can hope for is a top 20 team. An occasional "dip" in
OlderHokie • 05/13/23 01:21 PM ET

VTCALS72 • 05/13/23 07:54 PM ET
Seems like the best players in the South love their local schools more
Seikoh_04 • 05/12/23 10:09 PM ET
I’d guess Tennessee is making the hard sell

Before Beamer II, Ohio State would've replaced USC-E.
