This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on the rant.
Here are a few examples:
2019 Baylor
So the 2019 Baylor team that finished ranked #13 was a "One Hit Wonder" despite the fact that it finished exactly #13 also in 2011, 2013, and 2015.... not to mention a #7 finish in 2014.
Somehow finishing in the Top 13 in 2019 is the "One Hit Wonder" despite the fact that they also did it 4 other times in just a 9-year period. Sure. Okay.
2019 LSU
Okay, so LSU doesn't win a National Title EVERY YEAR. Well neither does Alabama or Clemson. But during this very time period of 2000-2020, LSU has not one but TWO additional National Titles (2003 & 2007).... not to mention a total of seven seasons in which they finished in the AP Top 6.
2010 Auburn
Again, yes Auburn had ONE National Title during the period, so I guess if you want to call it a "One Hit Wonder" you could. But so did Oklahoma (2000), Miami (2001), Texas (2005) and Florida State (2013).... why aren't those teams "One Hit Wonders" on this list?? Oh, was it because they played for other National Titles during the period? Well so did Auburn. They played in another Title game just three years later in 2013.... not to mention a third Top 2 finish during the period back in 2004.
I'm not sure 247Sports knows what a "One Hit Wonder" really is. Several of these are quite a stretch.

People are overthinking this. It's not meaning you cant have other good or even little similar seasons, it's more about "wow, that team stood out compared to the rest".
2019 LSU stood out because they went 15-0, dominated the playoffs, won just about every award that was given out, had a historic offense, QB, receiver corps, etc...Sure we won some other titles and had other really good seasons, but in 10-20 years when people think back, that 2019 LSU team will stand out compared to any other LSU team from 2000-2020 easily. It's accomplishments that stand out far above others (compared to your other teams) in a similar time frame.
