From biggest upset to barely an upset:
1. Ole Miss
2. Tennessee
3. Vandy
4. Auburn
5. Missouri
Missouri is rolling right now, and UF hasn't looked sharp for most of the year. That was an UINO (upset in name only).
Aggy was begging to lose with that defense, and most saw that Auburn matched up well against them. I had that one picked, so it's on the low end of my list.
Vandy winning against the big 6 is always huge, but poor UGA is a shell of its early season self.
Both USCe and LSU losses topped the WTFometer. Ole Miss gets the nod on biggest upset because I'm a butthurt LSU fan.

1. OM vs. LSU -- I've watched OM play ~3 times now and OM's got a solid team. They have a damn good defense and if they get their offense rolling nearly as well, they will be a huge surprise in the West in the next few years. LSU reminds me of a few 2000s Era Tennessee teams (all the talent in the world, good coaching, but the heart is missing).
2. Mizzou vs. Florida - Mizzou has been a pleasant surprise. I didn't think they could beat Florida once Franklin went down. With Franklin, I thought they had a chance but without I thought they'd deflate. Florida is injured but like LSU - where has the shine gone?
3. Vandy vs. UGA - Both surprising and not surprising at the same time. I wish I'd gotten to see this one. Yes, UGA is injured but didn't Vandy's QB get hurt as well? This upset reminds me a lot UT vs. UK game a few years ago. After the game, a few of the seniors were so pissed off at a few other teammates that a few openly spoke of a couple of teammates that didn't try as hard as they could because 'they didn't want to go to shitty bowl game.' Everyone assumed it was Bray and WR D. Rogers but they weren't named. Shortly after, several assistants left the program including a WR coach and IIRC, the DC.
I don't think UGA quit but I do wonder if their spirit isn't broken.
4.* Aubie vs Aggie - I don't think this was much surprise, especially after OM nearly beat Aggie and with the way Aubie has been playing.
4.* Tennessee vs. South Carolina - Directly after the UGA game, there wasn't Vol fan that watched that game that didn't think we had what it took to beat USC. That should speak volumes because as the magic of the UGA game wore off during the bye week and game day got closer the post-traumatic-dooley-sufferers returned and doubted up to the moment it happened. However, long time watchers of Tennessee knew full well this team would have its upset against USC. I haven't seen a team play with this much heart against all odds in years.
