Tradition-rich college football teams bear the burden of high expectations every season. All those blue-blood programs will strive for excellence, but unfavorable schedules will affect several in 2016.
First, though, what exactly is a blue blood? A history of victory is of the utmost importance. Consequently, this list uses the top-10 winning percentages in college football history as the selection pool.
Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas, USC, Nebraska, Penn State and Tennessee were the teams considered for this list.
Factors used to narrow the list include the perception of a team—or, more simply, how good do we expect the roster to be—and the overall difficulty of the schedule, especially away from home.
