If Tim Rattay was there in 99 then yes but I'm not sure if he left in 98 or 99.

. Louisiana-Monroe 21, Alabama 14, Nov. 17, 2007. Nick Saban has established himself as arguably the best college football coach in America once his programs are up and running, which is why it seems all the more inexpicable that his last two teams have both fallen prey to stunning upsets in his first year at the helm. At LSU in 2000, his Tigers lost to UAB at home 13-10. But even that looks like your run-of-the-mill upset compared to the Tide's four-turnover loss as 24-point favorites (in Bryant-Denny Stadium!) to the ULM Warhawks--a team that's never once been to the postseason or even posted a winning record in 18 years as an FBS program. That defeat helped drop the Tide to 6-6 in Saban's inaugural season, and even if that mark seems like ancient history now, the ULM loss still stands as a reminder of how far the Tide have had to come to reach the heights they have.

9. Jacksonville State 49, Ole Miss 48 (2 OT), Sept. 4, 2010. If not for Ole Miss's collapse to 4-8 this season, this Week 1 surprise might qualify as the SEC's version of Appalachian State-Michigan. As is, it's still worth recalling that the Rebels had just finished back-to-back Cotton Bowl championship seasons, boasted a largely veteran defense, and had imported Oregon refugee Jeremiah Masoli as a new weapon at quarterback. But none of it made any difference against the Gamecocks, who went for two and the win in the second overtime--giving coach Jack Crowe a kind of FCS-over-FBS redemption after his own Arkansas team fell to the Citadel in 1992, leading to his immediate firing.

Our 41-6 blowout loss to (4-7) LSU in 1998 when we won the west still weighs heavily on my mind. We thought it was a dagger for the west at the time...

2008 ole Miss over Florida was pretty big. I don't know what ole miss's final record was but that uf team was loaded with NFL talent. There are already two pro bowlers from that team. And Aaron Hernandez should have been a third.

That's not SEC. That's not even SWC.
But it's implications directly impacted the SEC probably more than any other game ever. It set the stage for Alabama to possibly win 3 out of 4 and it instigated the end of the BCS with the creation of a playoff(a direct result of an all SEC final).

They finished 9-4. The only "good" team that beat them was Alabama. Had they not been a typical Houston Nutt schizo team, they would have gone 10-2 or 11-1. A couple of the losses were inexcusable.
Don't sell that OM team short. There are 2 or 3 current pro bowlers from that OM team as well...

That team finished top 15 though.

At the time, they were 2-2 with losses to Vandy and Wake Forest and were coming off 4 straight losing SEC seasons. No one in the world gave them a chance in that game.

It's where you finish that matters.

Excellent point.
Also, Ole Miss was a 22.5 point underdog.

I forgot cam newton was a part of that team too. So that's two Heisman winners, two NFL rookies of the year, and three pro bowlers.

best SEC nomination so far.
UT losing to Memphis in 1996 is OOC winner thus far

1997 LSU beat #1 UF in Tiger Stadium ruining their NC hopes.

Found these in another thread:
LSU:
Upset of Bama +26 in 93 (when pigs flew in Tuscaloosa) and loss to Miami Ohio -26 in 1986

A 9-3 LSU team so not monumental; an upset yes, but I'm looking for losing record team beating 8-3 or better
Miami ohio was 8-4 that year, but I admit it is an upset; not as huge as a losing Memphis beating a 10-2 UT club

The 93 upset of Bama was pretty big at the time. Bama hadn't lost a game in over a year and a half whereas LSU was in the middle of our 5th straight losing season.

Hands down a pitiful LSU team beat Bama in 1993 and broke a long winning streak. Pigs started flying around Tuscaloosa.

Well, to be fair, Jay Barker got hurt really early in that game.
