re: Biggest “One-Hit Wonders” this century, per 247Sports

Then 247 is obviously as retarded as you are if you can’t understand that a team that has won 3 National Championships and played for another in the time span listed can’t obviously be a one hit wonder.

I don't necessarily disagree with that take; but if you read the article, it is clear they are talking about anomaly seasons that had mediocre to poor preceding seasons, a huge jump toward success, immediately followed by garbage.

That is how they seemed to generally define the one hit wonders (bad term). More like roller coaster rides in short periods, not necessarily looking at the program as a whole over the 20 yrs.

Yes, LSU won 2 and played for 3 NCs between 2000-2011, but the 9 years after have been 3+ loss years on the regular outside of 15-0.

It is a bad take, but a fair point of discussion as an anomaly year on the whole over last 10 seasons.

Since 2000, LSU is 2nd only to Bama on top end success (with Clemson close). But, if ranked for overall consistency as a program, they aren't #2.

They are not necessarily the up and down extremes of AU football, but it has been some highs followed by some what's? And whys?.
