1960 Ole Miss finishes 2nd behind a 2 loss Minnesota team.
1960 Ole Miss should be the national champion.

2015.
So much hype and hope coming off the 2014 season.
Then Toledo happened.

Probably post motorcycle wreck Petrino/John L Smith. While I didn't expect a great season, we had some really good pieces who just mailed it in after he was fired.
Knile Davis all of a sudden didn't give a damn/play much to then get some clock for the Kansas City Chiefs for a few years the next season.

The lone win was 41-6 over the team the would win the SEC West.
Loss to UGA by 1, Ole Miss in OT, Notre Dame and UK by 3 and Bama recovered two onsides kicks in a come from behind win

As an Arkansas fan there are too many of these, across too many sports, to even narrow down to a top 5.
The good news is that even being on the SEC OT board won't cause me to spend any time in purgatory. The Hogs have already put me through the torments of the damned.

The players were so happy that meanie Bobby was gone.

I'd have to say the 2000 Alabama Crimson Tide tops the list for me. We came into that season with the highest of expectations. The expectations were not only unrealistic but the season itself was a catastrophe. Getting shut out by both Southern Miss AND Auburn at home on the way to an eight-loss season is not something I ever want to experience again.
About the only thing good regarding that season was that it got Dubose out the door! Problem was that it let Franchione in!

It seems Ole Miss got hosed a lot by the voters back then. 1959 and 1962 Ole Miss should have been at least co-champs

2000 is absolutely up there as well. 8-4 would’ve been considered a good season for UGA in the 90s, but that was a super talented team with a really good defense. The QB and coaching let them down.
2015 mid season might be the lowest I’ve been as a UGA fan. I knew by the Missouri game that the rest of the season would be a chore to get through. The dropoff from Bobo to Schottenheimer was enormous.

I would say 2003 for Auburn
Yep. It was my freshman year at Auburn and the excitement was palpable. Local and national media were hyping that team up and I bought in hard. I remember just sitting there for like 20 minutes after the USC game was over just in shock at what I had just witnessed.

Yep 2000 was brutal. If I remember we went out and played UCLA and literally scored a TD on the opening kickoff then proceeded to get our arses handed to us and that Southern Miss loss was the worst Bama game I think I have ever watched. That season started the abyss into the wilderness before Saban even though fRan did have a decent season in 2002.

2003 Auburn had the talent to win a national title. It was more talented than the undefeated 2004 squad but the team just didn’t mesh. Terrible offensive coordinators. Just a bad year that ended with an 8-5 record.

2016. Preseason top 10, started 5-0, then finished 8-4 with losses to South Carolina and Vanderbilt. And we were blown the frick out by Alabama at home.

2000 was bad based on expectations. They won in 99 because the defense and Samuels and Alexander.
2003 was worse for me though. Price fired, Shula hired in May and 4-9 with the loss to Hawaii at the end and a loss to Northern Illinois mixed in. In my years as a fan, that was rock bottom. I didn’t expect 8-4 but nine losses in a season was something new.

How come they had 13 games scheduled that year?
Posted on 5/3/25 at 3:09 pm to BlindedMeWithScience
The Hawaii games were scheduled in 2002 and 2003, both games at Hawaii and they played in Tuscaloosa in 2006. Alabama had a two year bowl ban so it was seen as the fans’ replacement for a bowl game.

2003 Auburn Tigers!
2015 Heisman Jeremy Johnson killed Auburn too. What a second place disappointment.

1993?
Georgia was coming off of a ten win and top ten finish. Ranked 13th in the country to start the season. Had a future Pro football HOF RB and the eventual all time SEC passing yards leader (at the time he finished his college career) at QB. Finished 5-6.

2023 LSU Tigers football.
#1 offense in the country. Mid-tier defense would have won LSU a National Championship. Defense was worse than terrible.
