Greetings everyone. There's been quite a few great teams and national championship teams that Texas has played and came up on the losing end to. Who was the best team the Longhorns have ever lost to? Will Ohio State 2025 make the list? If LSU 2019 is the overwhelming choice, who was the second best team the Longhorns ever lost to?

Quite a few of those teams didn't win the national championship so I'm not sure why they are on the list.

I do know the most depressing loss on that list was Notre Dame in 1977 because it cost Earl the national championship.

F'ing Montana ended the Oilers too in 1993
