Tennessee at the Swamp, 18 point underdog versus number 2 Florida. The Vols won.
That point spread was absurd. Tennessee was 6th or 7th in the Nation.
I'm late to the party on this thread so they may be in here but there are 3 IMO that are head and shoulders above the rest:
1970 Southern Miss 30 #4 Ole Miss 14
1981 Georgia Tech 24 #4 Alabama 21
1982 Tulane 31 #7 LSU 28
That was Tech's first game of the year and turned out to be their only win. Tulane had already fired their coach and LSU had accepted an Orange Bowl bid.
If this was meant to be SEC vs SEC, I'll take a stab after I do a little work.

Again, I believe Tennessee was number 4.
I do find it very strange the point spread was that high. It's especially strange when you consider that there was another team that year who was much better than Florida. What were there point spreads that year?
