"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.

Was this the Dobbs Nail Boot Game?

Georgia Tech @ UGA in 2008.
Around the beginning of the Paul Johnson era at GT. It was a rainy day and GTech waS hanging around after the first half. Eventually due to turnovers and just bad defense they got ahead and we were playing catch up. We'd score to close the gap then just couldn't get a stop and they'd march down the field. They ended up rushing for over 500 yards and we lost that day 45-42.
It was Tech's first win in the rivalry in 7 years, their fans were very obnoxious.
