re: What's the most devastating regular season loss for each football program?

We would have lost to FSU.

Last year vs Clemson. We were 30 seconds away from another national title.

I actually don't know about that. Their offense, as good as it was with Jameis, didn't have a mobile guy at QB. Around that time, it was much more of an issue with mobile QBs than it is for us now. Their offense was more of a pro-style that happened to have a great QB and WRs. Around 2013, we were doing very well against this kind of team. Offensively, we could have run on them. I actually think the Barn, while not as talented as FSU, matched up better (at least their offense) against us. I would say 60/40 odds we would have beaten FSU. Doesn't matter now.
