At this current rate, when does Nebraska lose its Blue Blood status?

The current accepted Blue Bloods according to the chart are:

Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, OU, Texas, USC, Notre Dame, and Nebraska.

Nebraska hasn't had a great year since 2001 but they were kings of college football for the 40 years prior to that. They've averaged 4.7 wins for the past 9 seasons.

Most fans 35 and under have never seen Nebraska be elite and that number is going up every year. So, do you think Nebraska can lose its Blue Blood status, and if so, when do you think they will?

I still think about what could have been if Ryan Perrilloux could stay out of the riverboat casinos and off drugs and not get kicked off the team before 2008. He was a former #1 dual threat QB out of high school. He had 10 TDs for us as a backup in our 2007 championship season including starting and winning the SECCG.

True freshman Jarrett Lee started most of the games in 2008 and threw a record 7 pick sixes that year. If we had Perrilloux, there's a good chance we're competing again for an SEC championship and possibly a national championship. We barely lost in OT to Bama that year so it was definitely possible.

Then he either goes pro or comes back in 2009 and Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee get to compete for a starting job in 2009 or 2010 without having been traumatized and develop properly.
