With the college football season about to start again, an aspect that continues to be brought up and debated is that of which schools deserve to be known as 'blue bloods.' USC absolutely has to be on any list surrounding these types of discussions.
Maybe for younger fans or for those who are only choosing to remember the more recent seasons, it may seem odd to have the Trojans in any list that includes blue bloods.
What has to be the primary point of consideration is all-time national relevance. With that comes national titles, Heisman Trophy winners, and the way in which the program can move metrics when it comes to any and all discussions, even involving college football.
