This. When opponents say this, it carries even more weight.

I remember not truly believing we were back until we thumped UGA in Athens.
The Clemson win was impressive but I left the Dome thinking "Man, we looked great, but Clemson does this once a year so I don't know yet".

tylerdurden24 got to give you some credit that is a good list you came up with.
I was to lazy to look at detalis but Spurrier in his first couple of years surely had a win or two that put UF in the map and stayed there for a long time.

LSU over Florida in '97 was huge for our program.

This. People keep pointing to the '01 SECCG, but it was the 2000 game vs UT that gave LSU players and fans the vision of what was coming. The 2000 Bama game also was a changing of the times.
Conversely, it was probably the 2007 SECCG that turned Tennessee's program around - for the worse. They haven't lost fewer than 6 games in a season since.

92 Bama over Miami (actually, January of 93).
I do not know of any game that marked the sudden and dramatic end to a dynasty more than that game. Miami was never the same. Yes, they did come back years later to win a title, but if you remember the late 80's and early 90's, that Miami team thought they couldn't lose and had the rest of the nation believing them.
That game will always be my favorite moment in college football history.

2014 Miss. St. beats LSU 34-29....this is the beginning of the downward spiral of LSU football.
It's actually started before this but this is when everybody begins to notice.

08 bama/clemson, 12 bama/uga, 13 au/atm:
I don't think these really changed either program, IMO.

Once again, they were never the same. I didn't say they were never good again, but they were never the Miami that was despised by the nation and that struck fear in opponents the way they did leading up to that game.
Anyone following football during that time knows what I'm talking about.

They won like 33 straight games or something like that during that span. I mean they may not have been hated as much as they were then, but I find it hard to believe they didn't intimidate opponents in 2001 when they had arguably the greatest team ever
Posted on 10/2/14 at 12:46 pm to WestCoastAg
I didn't say 2001 didn't intimidate opponents. You are either being obtuse, or you don't remember/weren't following at that time. 2000-2003 Miami was a completely different type of team with a completely different personality.
When MSU beat Alabama in 1980, it ended that dynasty. Alabama winning the national title in 1992 and later in 2009, 2011, and 2012 doesn't erase that game as a program changing win that State pulled off.

15 point underdogs against the defending national champs.
Definitely the loudest, most exciting game I can remember from the 90s.
The win over #5 Auburn in '95 was THE turning point of the decade though. LSU had only two wins over a top 20 opponent to that point in the 90s -- in 1993 when pigs flew and way back in 1990 when we beat #11 A&M.

Definitely a program changing win for State though.
