The big one that comes to mind is 2001 Tennessee vs. Florida. Tennessee at the Swamp, 18 point underdog versus number 2 Florida. The Vols won.
Any others that were over 14 point favorites that lost?

I don't know what the line was but one of my favorites was LSU over UT 31-20 in the SEC championship game after losing 26-18 in the regular season at UT.

LSU at Florida '98 duh

Biggest I can remember in terms of SEC teams may be LSU beating UF in the late 90's.
AU beat UF as a big dog in 1993 and 2000 or 2001 also.

State upset #1 Alabama in 1980 6-3, ending the tide's 28 game win streak, which included two national championships and conference championships.

1985 - UGA over Florida - UF was ranked #1 with a 7-0-1 record. UGA was 6-1-1 and had two freshmen running backs (Tim Worley and Keith Henderson), sophomore TB Lars Tate who was the number 1 recruit in the country the year before, a sound defense, and little else. Florida was favored by two TD's.
UGA won 24 - 3 even though Florida QB Kerwin Bell threw for 408 yards.
Keith Henderson (true freshman out of West Rome HS) had 76 and 32 yard TD runs in the first half, and Worley had an 89 yard TD run in the fourth after Florida was threatening deep in UGA territory and John L. Williams fumbled the ball on a handoff.
Greg Waters sacked Kerwin Bell 4 times.

Damn that seems like an awfully high spread. Wasn't UT ranked like 5 or 6 going into that game? Sucks I wasn't betting on spreads back then, i would have bet the house on UT covering

That point spread was absurd. Tennessee was 6th or 7th in the Nation.
I'm late to the party on this thread so they may be in here but there are 3 IMO that are head and shoulders above the rest:
1970 Southern Miss 30 #4 Ole Miss 14
1981 Georgia Tech 24 #4 Alabama 21
1982 Tulane 31 #7 LSU 28
That was Tech's first game of the year and turned out to be their only win. Tulane had already fired their coach and LSU had accepted an Orange Bowl bid.
If this was meant to be SEC vs SEC, I'll take a stab after I do a little work.
