The worst loss ever by an SEC team in a bowl game is 39 points (Georgia lost to Nebraska 45-6 in the 1969 Sun Bowl). Ole Miss is currently losing by 42 points.

I remember Nebraska beating Bama something like 38-6 in a battle of unbeatens for the MNC back in the '70s.

It could have been 60-0, except Devaney called them off way early.

Poor Bear Bryant looked like he was going to piss himself on the sidelines after Johnny Rodgers ran back a punt that night.

I don't see how that can be considered worse than this


Yep...and it was still 13-0 going into the fourth quarter. This game has never been competitive.

I'm not good at math but I would say this loss is currently twice as bad.

That game was 21-17 in the middle of the 3rd quarter and the final score was 31-17.


Well as long as we're picking random time intervals, the game was 21-0 for 15 minutes and 21-3 for 10 more minutes. Then Bama returned a punt, then Utah kept passing until they had over 300 yards doing it and secured their thumping against a team that they "had no chance to beat."

So, who replaces UT in the Big 6?

Ole Miss is far closer to "elite" status than Tennessee is at the moment.

And making fun of yall growing up, weren't jealous of yall....same situation here. Yalls program is pathetic.

If anyone argues, they lose all credibility.

Yes. As bad as 21-0 was, it was 15-0 (5FG's) late in the 4th. At least LSU's defense showed up allowing on a single TD.
