Wait, you are seriously going to rank the Utah loss ahead of the wyoming loss?

I interpret the question as what was the biggest embarrassment for us as a conference.

Easily... when the pundits make the case about leaving the SEC out of the BCS Championship game next year, are they going to be talking about TN / Wyoming? No. They will be talking about how Utah took Alabama to the woodshed. SEC strength isn't determined by who represents the bottom of the conference, it is the leaders in a prospective sport that determines our strength.

Alabama was one of the best teams in the SEC last year and they got dominated on the national stage by a school from a non-BCS conference. Forever changing the argument of non-BCS schools in the BCS game and potentially the BCS Championship game.

What does the UT / Wyoming game mean in comparison to that? Near nothing. Was it embarrassing for UT? No doubt. Was it embarrassing for us as a conference? Not really that much.
