That's fricking moronic. Even I can come up with worse/more shocking losses for all of those teams right off the top of my head.
It is definitely a crappy list.

This is such a crappy article and why since only 2000?
One of our "worst" losses was to Ole Miss in 1969.
November 15 at No. 18 Ole Miss No. 3 Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium • Jackson, MS L 0–38 47,220
Although we won the SEC that year.
It did engender a legend.
Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds (born November 22, 1947) is an American former football player who played for the University of Tennessee, and started out as a fullback and changed to linebacker. He was a first-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1970 NFL Draft and played there 11 years before going to the San Francisco 49ers in 1981. He played with the Niners four more years and won two Super Bowls with them: Super Bowl XVI and Super Bowl XIX. He wore the number 64 throughout his career. He played in a total of 13 postseason games. Reynolds currently splits his time between a house in Miami and another in the Caribbean.
Reynolds earned his nickname in 1969 by cutting an abandoned 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air (some accounts claim it was a Porsche) in half with a hacksaw after his previously unbeaten University of Tennessee team returned from an embarrassing 38-0 road loss to Ole Miss. "I came back to school and I was very upset," Reynolds said. "I had to do something to relieve my frustration." He decided to turn the abandoned car into a trailer for his newly purchased Jeep. After working through the night on the project, chewing through 13 hacksaw blades, he returned the next day with some teammates to show off his handiwork. However, when they arrived, both halves of the car were gone. For the remainder of his career, the nickname stuck.[1] Reynolds appeared in a non-speaking role in the Simpsons episode "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday" when Dan Marino calls him and another football player named "Bubba" on Homer for picking a pass meant for Bart."

Worst Mizzou loss was to USC in 2013,
you got beat by the #20 team in the country that night, which finished ranked #4 BCS at season's end.
losing to an unranked (4-4) Tommy Tuberville Texas Tech team in 2010 while ranked 14th and 7-1 would be the logical thought here, but carry on

UAB 2000 was the worst

Our worst football loss was in 1981. We lost at home 23-21 to the University of the Pacific. They disbanded their football team in 1995.

How it happened: The loss to The Citadel in 2015 was up there, but it’s hard to say whether or not that was shocking after the season South Carolina had.
I don't know whether this article is more insulting to USCe or Kentucky.

Oops lol

Right, list is garbage.
I think it should be Navy for USCe based on what was on the line. Citadel a very close second.
Kentucky?

AUBURN
Date: October 4, 2008
Opponent: Vanderbilt Result:
14-13
quote:bullshite. AU started the season ranked top 10 and was considered the favorite in the West. The lone loss was at home to a mediocre LSU squad who had essentially three weeks to prepare after opening their BCSC defense against Appy State and North Texas. Bookending that defeat were two of the worst wins in college football history: the infamous 3-2 game vs MSU and an equally dismal 14-12 clown show vs Tennessee. There was much dissension between Tubs and his BBQ Gang of assistants and 'outsider' OC Tony Franklin, as the offense had looked completely out of step the entire year - not to mention the QB controversy (Tubs wanted Kodi Burns to start, Franklin preferred sore-armed Chris Todd, neither were worth a damn). So, no one was 'confident' going into Nashville that Saturday. In fact, most AU fans I knew (myself included) were expecting the worst. And sure enough, it happened.
Auburn was coming off a top 15 season under Tommy Tuberville in 2007, and after going 4-1 to start 2008, the Tigers found themselves in the No. 13 spot. They were confident as they traveled to Nashville to face No. 19 Vanderbilt.
My candidate for most "shocking" loss? Easily, 2006 UGa. 9-1, #6 in the BCS, all of our season goals still in front of us - and we let a shitty Bulldog team that had lost 4 of their last 5 (including Vandy AND Kentucky) come into our house and curbstomp us. I never forgave Tuberville for that shite.

Surprised they didn't go with the 2014 Indiana loss.

Mississippi State losing to South Alabama in 2016
Even that pales in comparison to the loss to Maine during the Croom era.
We should get some sort of reparations for the Croom regime.

That was the worst game I've ever watched. Humiliating.
On the positive side, though, look what Dabo did about it and where Clemson is now.
Spurrier just quit.

While this is true, I see what the author was going for. 2014 we let our #1 rival (almost certainly) keep us out of the playoffs. Maybe the only chance we ever have. It was definitely a gut punch after the season we had.
Except they didn't. Ohio State was gonna jump us whether we won that game or not since Bama would've won the West.

Florida & UMiami wishes Spurrier would've quit after that 2014 UK game.
Carolina's most "shocking" loss of the 21st century came against Vanderbilt in 2007. Gamecocks were ranked #6 at 6-1 and already beaten #11 Georgia in Athens, #8 Kentucky at W-B, as well as the targoats in USC's first return up the Chapel Hell in nearly 20 seasons. the 2014 UK wasn't shocking to any Gamecock - it was simply infuriating.

Florida's worst losses are just a summary of Muschamp's time there hahahaha

That happened in a BCS game, I saw earlier where you bragged about your 2013 BCS ranking, so tell us how many of those BCS games you played in hahahahahahahaha

Yeah that's total BS. Every Bama fan I saw that day was wearing white. What good would it do Bama to also wear black? Makes it show their well travelled numbers to go the opposite direction of what UGA fans were doing
