The most memorable upset for me was watching OM knock off #6 Florida in '02.
quote:

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Just when it looked like Florida coach Ron Zook had quieted the skeptics in Gator Nation, Mississippi gave them something new to complain about. Matt Grier returned the second of his two third-quarter interceptions 24 yards for the go-ahead touchdown, and Mississippi shut out the Gators (No. 6 AP) in the second half to win 17-14 Saturday. It was the Rebels' first victory over a top-10 team since 1997, when they beat No. 8 LSU on the road, and one of their biggest victories ever in Oxford.

The postgame celebration by the Rebels' fans started a second too soon. Ole Miss tried to let the clock tick to zero without running a final fourth-down play, but officials stopped it with one second left while fans were already pouring onto the field. It took a few moments to clear the field so Manning could run one more play, take a knee and start the party.

I'd say Iron Bowl 2013 is a pretty huge upset considering Auburn just kept finding ways to stay in the game and most people gave them no chance.

Did Bama punt at all?

In person? Probably A&M over UH in 1989. The pic of Aaron Wallace holding Andre Ware's helmet is the impetuous of Ware's butthurt to this day.

fricking hell

That team was talented enough to win the SEC, and Zook screwed it all up.

In person for me was Southern Miss over Alabama with Brett Farve at QB for SM. one of the biggest upsets of a really good Alabama team that I did not see was in the 80's and Georgia Tech beat Alabama in Bham. It was just about the only game Alabama lost that year, and just about the only game Tech won that year. Crazy outcome.

I've been spoiled as a young LSU fan, so this one is difficult to point out.

#1 LSU losing to Arkansas comes to mind. 3 great running backs and Marcus Monk, then a huge drop off in talent. Sometimes I felt like Houston Nutt sand bagged his team's entire season for LSU

If Jarrett Lee could have stopped sucking for just one second during his abysmal freshman campaign, i'd have witnessed a shite show 2008 LSU team upset #1 Alabama

I almost said this one, and then I was reminded that none of us ever really thought we were a top 10 team with that defense. Probably our second worst defense since 2000 (2008 runs away with it)

Didn't he throw 2 P6s and an interception in the red zone in that game? That dude was like the Cade Foster of SEC QBs.

I don't think they were both red zone, but I'm pretty positive he had 2 pick sixes. Jarrett Lee taught me at a young age that it's just a damn game, and after that I began drinking heavily during tailgates

that was one of my favorite LSU home games though. We had nothing to lose and threw the kitchen sink at you guys. That blocked kick at the end of the game had Tiger Stadium ROCKING. I thought it was destiny we were going to pull it out...Lee had other plans. Missed a wide open toliver in overtime

We still would've won the East if not for that damn David Greene play against Auburn.

Yes, a few times.

And I agree, the whole feel of the game and the days leading up to it felt like it was an upset. That's probably my pick, I haven't really seen any upsets in person

I remember I almost didn't go because there were tornado warnings and it was supposed to hail. But I had people in town and they had bought tickets and I'm glad I went.

It didn't rain until we rolled Toomers and that just made it more fun, lol.
