GT beat Cumberland 222-0. That certainly comes to mind.
That was 1915. Cumberland dissolved their football team but GT held them to the contract. So Cumberland asked the studentbody for volunteers. They practiced a few times and just tried not to get hurt. It was their only game played.

Georgia laid the worst beatdown in the history of the college football national championship game and, by most accounts, the worst beatdown in the history of championship games in any sport.
Which is nice.

And tech is proud of this. A despicable people.

21-0 takes the cake
As horrible as this was, it was within reach on the scoreboard late into the second half if LSU had decided to switch up their approach on offense. Les decided to run his dumb head into a brick wall some more though. They had our offense completely stifled and we just kept trying the same shite. There was no urgency.
I'll never forgive him for not at least trying to throw the kitchen sink out there. Trick plays, different QB, wildcat, whatever. Just needed one momentum play on offense.
Saban saw Hurts struggling against Georgia and put Tua in, for example.
The UGA/TCU game was over in the 1st quarter. It looked like a high school team playing UGA. That was an absurdly bad performance from them and an equally unreal performance from UGA. I bet on UGA going into that and still probably the most I've wagered on a single football game. Second being on Alabama v. Notre Dame. That had ugly written all over it before as well.

this is one of the biggest beat downs I've ever seen.
LSU could have named the score against that Oklahoma team.

Is this the saddest score of all time?
It's among the saddest but I thought it was somewhat predictable. I just couldn't have predicted 65-7.
2012 BCSCG 21-0 (Alabama over LSU) is up there but theoretically LSU still had a shot to make it a game in the 4th quarter. But by halftime you just knew that Alabama had every lesson learned from how LSU stole that game in Tuscaloosa. They stopped trying to protect AJ McCarron on offense and passed more on 1st down. They stopped trying to flip the backers to the strength of the LSU formation which caused some communication problems on the option plays with Jefferson that really allowed LSU to squeeze out that win in the regular season. LSU was completely made inert on offense.
The December 2019 Peach Bowl (LSU over OU) was similarly pretty sad. We all knew that OU wasn't going to stop LSU but we didn't know that LSU's mediocre defense was going to shutdown OU. It wasn't as close as the score suggests. LSU could have scored 100 but just tried to get the game over in the second half.
1996 Fiesta Bowl (Nebraska over Florida). Holy shite this was ugly. I remember watching this with my parents as a kid and being flabbergasted how Florida near their zenith of running the SEC in the 1990s get dismantled like a low classification HS playing a top classification HS in a season opener.
1998 Orange Bowl (Nebraska over Tennessee). Nebraska in this era was like the peak of Saban Alabama. They were bigger, faster, and tougher than you. A fully automated asskicking machine.
2026 Rose Bowl (Indiana over Alabama). Ty Simpson getting hurt allowed this to get uglier than it may have been but it wasn't going to be pretty regardless.

It should have created some positive change in CFB given the stage on which it happened
why?
TCU was absolutely positively deserving of being in that game. People seem to overlook that they had just beaten a 13-0 and #2 ranked Michigan the game before.
it's not TCU's fault they ran into a buzzsaw of a juggernaut on one of the biggest unbeaten runs in the history of the SEC.
