Fans will always be arguing over who the real blue bloods are in college basketball. There are some programs that were considered blue blood, like Indiana and UCLA, that have fallen off in the past couple of decades, while new programs like UConn are making their claim.<\/p>\n

According to CBS Sports\u2019 Jon Rothstein, there are only two blue bloods left in college basketball: Duke<\/a> and the Huskies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two programs in college basketball that are still operating as traditional Blue Bloods,” Rothstein said<\/a>. “It\u2019s UConn and Duke. It\u2019s Duke and UConn. And that is reiterated when you really dissect the rosters of the other Blue Blood programs in college basketball.<\/p>\n

Rothstein continues his argument by dissecting the current rosters of three other programs \u2013 Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina \u2013 who many might consider blue blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of today in the Rothstein 45, which I update every single day based on if there\u2019s any roster changes in college basketball,\u201d he said. \u201cKentucky\u2019s ranked 40th, Kansas is ranked 30th and North Carolina is ranked 26th. Of those three rosters right now, Carolina has the best roster.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure fans of the Tar Heels, Jayhawks and Wildcats will love hearing this.<\/p>\n
