That's a pretty lengthly "blue blood" list. Not so sure I would define many of these schools a "blue bloods". BYU, Memphis, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas State are just a few of the ones I would not call a "blue blood".

Believe he’s just providing Vols won/loss record against other major programs after his list of blue bloods.

I figured as much; but as to that point, why is Indiana in that second group of schools? I know they have been down, but historically, they would have to be considered a blue blood.

Nope, I think he got in right putting both Indiana and Louisville in the next group, though I get where you’re coming from.

i‘m not overly familiar with UConn’s hoops history before Jim Calhoun but they’ve certainly had BB pedigree over the last 40 or so years.

Ugh. Had no idea our record was that bad against KY. Are a lot of those losses pre 1970 ish? I hope our record is a little better over past 20 years.

We need to continue our run and take the lead in that Bama series.

There have been studies by major media publications ranking the top programs of all-time based on an assortment of metrics. There’s a consensus the top six are Kentucky, UNC, UCLA, Kansas, Duke, & Indiana. 7-10 are a combination of Louisville, Michigan State, UConn, and Ohio State/Arkansas.

UConn has been arguably the most dominant program over the last 30 years. Since re-establishing themselves with an elite eight run in 1990, they’ve won six championships and been to the FF 7 times - all since 1999.

How much longer is UCLA considered a blue blood

Imo, programs don’t really lose blue blood status, when they reach a certain level. UCLA may not be the powerhouse it was under Wooden, but they’re still, by definition, a blue blood, much like Indiana is still one despite its modern irrelevance.

You think our record is bad, check every other SEC school's record against Kentucky. By far, we have won more games against them than any other SEC school. The next closest SEC school with wins against Kentucky is Vanderbilt at 50.

It says Blue Bloods “Plus”.

The first 5 inarguably have had the most wins, NCAAT championships, and the most successful programs by many measures. Those are the 5 Blue Bloods as I’d define them with IU and UConn knocking on the door.

UCLA has way too many titles to be excluded from the 5.

The rest started with teams with the most wins. I left a couple of near blue bloods near the top. Then started adding/grouping some major conferences and their most successful programs. Temple isn’t a blue bloods, but they have a whole lot of wins. Purdue isn’t a blue bloods, but they had the best head-to-head success versus the other 9 original Big 10 schools.

I excluded most of the middling mid majors and small schools.

Butler was the next I was going to add, but figured the list was already pretty long. Wake Forest too. And Seton Hall. And Missouri. And Miss State. And Oregon, Oregon State, Arizona State, FL State, UNLV, etc.

The link is there to look up everybody else.

There was a time in my lifetime (around 2000) when Tennessee accounted for somewhere between 25% and 33% of Kentucky’s all-time SEC losses. That’s changed as the SEC has caught up with Kentucky, but that showed how Tennessee gave Kentucky far more trouble than anyone else historically…and why Kentucky fans hate Tennessee so much.
