Three immediately come to mind for South Carolina:
1. Clemson (2003). Lost 63-17. Not even giving a courtesy write-up on this game. Clemson just beat the shite out of SC.
2. Florida (2001). Lost 54-17. College Gameday was there, and the fans wore all black for a stadium "blackout". Spurrier stated after the game that one of his receiver's told him that it was nice of South Carolina to wear all black, it made the ball easier to pick out of the sky.
3. Texas A&M (2014). Lost 52-28. Launch of the SEC Network. South Carolina came in at #9 off of an 11-game winning season the year before. Kenny Hill proceeded to light SC up for 511 yards and 3 touchdowns. Broke an 18- game home winning streak for South Carolina.
Honorable Mentions: Citadel (2015) and Auburn (2011).

Including Birmingham, the 2000 Southern Miss game. By a mile.

"worst" is hard to describe. Take 2016 UT for instance, it was a heartbreaker of an ending but it was honestly a pretty awesome game overall from start to finish.
I think '99 Auburn will alwasy stand out first and foremost. We were 6-2 entering the game, which in those days was really damn good for us. AU was 4-5. In the 90s the home team in the DSOR typically lost so it seemed like we were going to reverse that trend and stay alive for a great new years day bowl. And they absolutely boat raced us, I think they jumped out by 28 or 31 points in the first half. Ben Leard to Ronnie Daniels just absolutley could not be stopped. It was so deflating.
I've watched us lose plenty of games, including some upsets that we had no business losing. But that one sticks out as 1)one we probablky shouldn't have lost 2) an arse beating
On the flip side of the coin I'll submit 2006 colorado. CU was AWFUL during that era and we were coming off an SEC title and sugar bowl season. The Stafford era was underway as he was thrust into duty early with JT3 getting injured. This was suppsoed to be an easy tune up walk in the park to get stafford some stat padding and cruise to victory but midway through the 4th quarter it was 13-0 coloardo. We looked about as dreadfully bad as one could even fathom. Stafford was benched and Joe Cox came off the bench to lead us to a late 14-13 win, so the ending was kinda compelling I guess but overall holy cow what a stinker.

This was easily the most embarrassing given the context.

Auburn vs Tennessee 2008 in Jordan-Hare. A tire fire of a game best described as "two monkeys trying to frick a football."

Bama beat LSU 31-0 2002
I remember the Bama player getting hurt and they called the helicopter in to take him away.
Then we peaced out and went to a party. Was like the only game we left early as students.

Been pretty spoiled as a younger lsu fan but I’ll try
-2002 Alabama 31-7
-2008 ole miss. 31-13 I think. The score was not what it appeared. Ole miss absolutely spanked LSU all day, and I think they ended the game about to make it 38-13. That same season Georgia put 52 on lsu with stafford and Moreno, that one is up there.
-2018 Alabama because the crowd was absolutely loud as frick and a fiesta bowl winning lsu team got shut out at home. Inexcusable but par for the course.
-2017 Troy. Jesus, shrimp boat.
-too sleepy but les miles had so many snoozers for OOC games where lsu put up 30 and passed for 150 yards. Plenty of boring football with that guy

1993 Florida LSU. Gators won 58-3 in Tiger Stadium. Total drubbing.
1988 Miami LSU. 44-3 loss in a monsoon. Or maybe it was a hurricane.

Lousiana-Monroe 2007. I always heard rumors that DJ Hall punched John Parker Wilson in the face in the locker room.
Iron Bowl 2010. Amazingly the 2nd worst Iron Bowl ever, but it was home so that sucked. Freezing cold, blew a huge lead, AU won the title. Holy shite

2004 Alabama - South Carolina

I'll go 2007 USF & 2012 Texas A&M off the top of my head for worst.
Runners up - 2006 Arkansas, 2006 UGA, 2022 Penn State...2021 Miss State...there could be a lot...

2014 Mississippi State @ LSU: the final score makes it look like a competitive game, but State completely dominated for 3 quarters until Mullen took his foot off the gas in the 4th and gave Les a chance to get back into it. TS was nearly completely empty when time ran out. Broke a 14 game winning streak against the Bulldogs.
2022 Tennessee @ LSU: completely awful starting from the opening kickoff. The first game for both of my kids to go to and they didn't have much to cheer for. There were lots of Vol fans that made the trip and they were loud all game.

I never saw us lose at home but we went to double OT with Vandy in Urban's first year that we should've lost.

That I've been in the stadium for? Thankfully I wasnt at the app state game last year....
1) Loss vs the longhorns in 2011, had a really good handle on the game until a very questionable PI call gives them a free 15 yards and first down and then they kick the winning FG as our last game in the Big 12.
2) Loss vs Alabama in 2015, yeah its not surprising to lose to a high ranked bama team during this saban era, but it was a really hyped up top 10 matchup that proceded to be an almost 20 point loss while we watched Kyle Allen throw 3 picks (2 of them pick 6s) all while wondering why Kyler Murray was just sitting on the bench. Some say it was the beginning of the end for Sumlin's tenure in how he mishandled both of the 5 star QBs.

2000 southern miss. Was like 21-0 at the end of the first and Bama never threatened.
Staying with southern miss, 1982 36-28 and that was after Bama came back. Reggie collier owned Bama that day.
2000 iron bowl. 10-0 auburn. Sleet all day, temp never got out of the 20s.
1999 la tech. Bama had lost to la tech in 97 and been dominated. Won’t happen again. Bama leads with one play left and Tim rattay goes out. Backup throws up a prayer into triple coverage and hits it.
Vandy 1984. 30-20. Vandy finished 5-6 that season. All I can say about that.

Watching crackhead Maty Mauk eviscerate UConn in a scintillating 9-6 victory. And the only reason we won is because UConn didn't kick the 30 yard field goal at the end of the game and tried the most obvious fake ever.

My three that come quickly come to mind (but, there are others) are:
1975 vs. Richmond (won 28-24, but we sho'nuff looked ugly!)
1977 vs. #8 Kentucky (lost 33-0)
1979 vs. Wake Forest (we were ranked #12 and lost 22-21)

I'd include the 63-7 asswhipping Spurrier gave us against the Gators in '95, late November game it was freezing cold and I could count how many fans were still in the stadium in the 4th quarter.
