Good to see Georgia on the giving end of a couple these. But seriously, that 02 Florida loss was a killer. That being said, we weren't jumping OSU or Miami that year.
Except you were already ahead of Ohio State before the loss.

Regardless, OSU would have passed us in the BCS the next week.

I would disagree with this one. I know UGA is a huge rivalry game for the Gators, but...
I would say the 2009 SECCG loss to Bama was the most devastating for UF. There is no doubt that UF would have beaten Texas in the Rose Bowl to complete an undefeated season, something that Florida has never accomplished. Tebow, Spikes, et al had come back for another year to repeat and didn't get it done. Urbz had the fake heart attack, retired, unretired, had a miserable 2010, re-retired. Boom hired and commenced to suck...UF offense has been dormant ever since that year.
Yeah, it's that game for UF.

1969 Texas was horrible. I was 7 and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Most Arkansas fans that i knew back then pretty much shut down.
The Stoernover was just as bad. It seems ludicrous now, but at that time we were absolutely ecstatic about Houston Nutt's job as the Arkansas coach. It seemed that we had finally turned the corner and were about to establish ourselves as an SEC power just like we had been in the old SWC. In a second, all of those hopes and dreams were crushed.

The Punt Bama Punt game was way more ridiculous than the Kick Six game when you look at it.
Auburn actually played very well in the Kick Six game and them winning was a totally just outcome.
The Punt Bama Punt game they were basically dominated the whole game and had absolutely no business winning at all.
The most devastating regular season loss ever in the SEC, at least in my lifetime, has to be the Arkansas fumble against Tennessee in 98.
That Arkansas team was undefeated late in the season, went into Neyland to face an undefeated Tennessee team, beat them straight up toe to toe, to set themselves up to win likely win their first ever SEC title and give them a shot at their first unanimous national title...
only problem is that last part didn't happen because of a bizarre, unforced fluke fumble while they were running out the clock.

The two regular season games that I believe definitely cost LSU national titles were losing 13-14 to a bad UTenn team in Knoxville in 1959 and, in 1969, losing to Ole Miss 23-26 in Jackson.

I agree, the kick six. Hell I had $100 on that game, of course it will never stop the program. Now I know we won't win forever, but will enjoy til then. Lol I'm a spoiled fan, but it's fun.

For Me, Aubie 56-3. That was deviating.

It really is f*cking awful.

No doubt. To see ur FB just give up sucks u dry of trusting ur team. I'm a homer, but I'm buying we r mentally a better coaches team and have upgraded every position including 3 new defensive coaches. I'm really excited ano Beliema 5.0.

Slow your roll daves. We would've given FSU all they could handle and probably come out on top.
FSU squeaked be a number of shitty teams that season.
Y'all didn't have enough offensive explosiveness to beat them. Their D was loaded.
We had the offense. We just didn't have the secondary to keep Winston and a very good group of pass catchers contained.
But what really lost us the game was uncharacteristic mistakes on Special Teams (kicking and coverage) lost us the momentum after we jumped on their asses out of the gate.
Bama wasn't nearly explosive enough on offense that season to jump out ahead as fast as we did, y'all didn't have the elite run game to wear down their very stout front 7 and keep their very talented secondary honest allowing big pass plays like we did. That means it would have been a close game all the way through, and if there's one thing that we know damn sure that 2013 Bama already proved about themselves is that there is no way they are winning a game that comes down to special teams.
FSU would have beat Bama. You're underestimating them, and overestimating Bama. Which is extremely predictable for Bama fans.
Bama also doesn't have a good recent history against Heisman winning, 1st round draft pick QBs. Especially when said QB is also the #1 overall draft pick, starts in the NFC South, becomes NFL Rookie of the Year and a Pro Bowler.
Listen to Georgie boy, he's one of y'alls most down to earth posters and one of the few with any semblance of intelligence. His troll attempts may be weak, but he's solid when he does actual analysis.

Not a regular season game.

Last years loss to Wisconsin hurt, considering LSU had high expectations last year.

Maybe losing to Rice to open the 1961 season for LSU. There's a good chance it cost y'all a share of the national title.

The actual truth. And by all accounts, he was stopped at the goal line. Or Cannon cleared the goal line.

2015 Arkansas is definitely up there.
2010 Jacksonville State (
) is also up there though. That was just terrible.

Ole Miss - 1959 LSU? 2015 Arkansas?
Ole Miss claims the '59 National Championship, so it has to be 2015 Arkansas.
If they hold on and win that game, the entire course of Ole Miss football for the next few years is different. They go to Atlanta and probably win the SECCG (yes, I know they lost to Florida earlier in the season), and have an outside shot at making the CFP.
With an SEC Championship and potentially a CFP appearance under his belt, Freeze potentially survives the PR storm and keeps his job barring any show cause penalties.
Crazy to think how one play could have changed the outlook of their program.
