LSU Ten 2010

Gimme wass about 50 yards IIRC
Seriously? I remembered it being about 30 yards out or something. I was only 9 years old at the time so that accounts for some of it. That was stupid then for McGinty to get the criticism he got. That's usually Bama fans that are irrational like that.

06 title game.
Winning wasn't the surprise necessarily. It was us absolutely dominating a team deemed as "one of the best ever possibly."

Easy, 1992 Sugar Bowl vs Miami. Bama wasn't given a prayer in that game. Fans were hoping the Tide wouldn't get embarrassed. Instead, they put an historic beatdown on the mighty 'Canes and Heisman winner Toretta. Opened a big ole can of whoop arse!

My choices are a tie...one I attended and the other I was 9 years old.
Someone has already mentioned 1B, the 1994 LSU game with three pick 6's in the 4th quarter to win 30-26. I brought three co-workers to that game...their first ever SEC game (one was from San Diego, one from Minneapolis and one from Houston). What an introduction.
My 1A choice is Punt Bama Punt in 1972.
Alabama was undefeated and I think #2 in the nation. Despite Auburn's 8-1 record and #9 ranking, Bama was still a 16-point favorite.
Alabama led 16-0 with 10 minutes left in the game.
Auburn then kicked a field goal to cut the lead to 16-3.
With just over 5 minutes left in the game, Bill Newton blocked a punt and David Langner caught it off of the bounce and ran it in for a TD. The score was now 16-10.
With 1:34 left in the game, Bill Newton blocked a punt and David Langner caught it off of the bounce and ran it in for a TD. Auburn now led 17-16 and held on to win.
The Birmingham News called it a delayed instant replay
The reason I remember the game so vividly (and can recite Gary Sanders' play calls almost verbatim) is because I was in fourth grade when we beat them.
We lost when I was in 5th grade.
We lost when I was in 6th grade.
We lost when I was in 7th grade.
We lost when I was in 8th grade.
We lost when I was a HS freshman.
We lost when I was a HS sophomore.
We lost when I was a HS junior.
We lost when I was a HS senior.
We lost when I was an Auburn freshman.
We finally snapped that losing streak when Bo went over the top in 1982...a game I attended and was one of the morons that helped tear down the goalposts after the game.

The Blue grass miracle was definitely a WTF win

1999 @ Florida
Alabama had lost at home to La Tech 2 weeks earlier (beat a good Arkansas team at home the next weekend) and was ranked #21. Alabama had gone 8-10 in SEC play under DuBose (2+ seasons) to that point with 3 of those wins over Vanderbilt.
Florida was in the midst of a 30 game home win streak and was ranked #3.

Pretty sure we've never had one of those. Mizzou is exclusively on the "WTF loss" side of things.
You probably have to go all the way back to the Onofrio years to find some of them. Most notably the second ND win in 1978.

I was a year ahead of you and 17-16 is the only Bama lost that made me literally cry. Fast forward to 1982 and I watched you (and those other bastards) tear the goal posts down as I sat stunned in the Bama student section.

2005 Cotton Bowl against TTU. Zero offense at all after Prothro got hurt that year. Keith Brown’s knee was down on the screen pass that turned into Bama’s only TD that day. Jamie Christiansen kicked the ugliest winning field goal ever. Only Bowl game I ever got to go to with my Dad. We just looked at each other after the game winner went through with WTF looks on our faces. Weirdest game ever.

Can't get more wtf than 2010 LSU-Tennessee, the Miles era in a microcosm
Posted on 7/20/20 at 8:52 pm to lsudave1
2017 back to back wtf wins vs UT and UK. Beat Vanderbilt and had back to back wtf losses vs LSU and a&m. Then mccelwain got fired. Damndest season I’ve seen

LSU vs Tennessee in 2010 was a duel of idiotic coaching. What a fricked up ending. I have never been more pissed after a win.

Only points lsu scored was on the first play from scrimmage and the last play

State vs. Florida 2004 is the answer and it probably isn't close. That's one of the biggest WTF wins in SEC history altogether, even if Ron Zook was coaching Florida at the time. State scored 7 freaking points against Maine and then somehow dropped 38 on Florida.
Honorable mentions:
2016 Texas A&M - State was 3-5 with a loss to South Alabama and had just squeaked out a win against Samford, A&M was 7-1 and #4 in the Playoff rankings, and State pretty much controlled the game. Fitzgerald and Williams ran all over A&M.
2007 Auburn - AU had destroyed State the previous six years and then State went on the road and beat a 9 win Auburn team that finished in the Top 15.
2007 Kentucky - This was the UK team that had just beaten LSU (who demolished State), and played Florida close the week before (in Tebow's Heisman year). I think this was a case of State catching UK at the absolute perfect time, but they went to Lexington and just smashed that team which was probably one of the best 2-3 teams UK has had in my lifetime. This was a week after State got crushed in Morgantown, too.
That 2007 State team was really weird, man. I guess that makes sense considering it was the one good Croom year.

2006 vs. OSU - As others pointed out, it wasn't the win, but the way UF won. Ohio State was held to 82 yards of Total Offense! 
2014 vs. UGA - The biggest WTF win I've ever had as a UF fan. 2 weeks prior, UF was destroyed by Mizzou 42-13 in Gainesville on UF Homecoming weekend, and it was basically known at that point Muschamp was done. UF lost that badly despite giving up barely 100 yards of total offense.
UF fell behind 7-0 vs UGA, and from the 2nd Q on absolutely dominated. UF gained over FOUR HUNDRED yards rushing that day.

In terms of games won that you thought you had no chance to win going in? Yeah, UT almost doesn’t almost any of those in recent memory.
Only game that comes to mind is @Auburn 2018. Wasn’t a great Auburn team, but the cupboard was left almost empty for Pruitt coming into year 1, and we were 2-3 going in with all 3 losses having been blowouts. UT had no business going into Jordan Hare and winning that day.
Now games that looked like sure losses before unlikely comebacks? We’ve had several of those, including our most recent game.

SIAP:
1992 vs Miami. I believed the hype and thought we had a chance, but the result was very surprising and euphoric. We barely held on against UF and at the time Miami was considered an all time great.
1999 at the Swamp where they almost never lost, then again in the SECCG in dominating fashion. Florida was still in the middle of the dominant Spurrier run.
2005 UF at Alabama. 31-3 and dominated start to finish. RIP Prothro's career.
We were undefeated and so were they (they were top 5, we were top 20) but we'd been in the gutter for a while.
It installed a false hope in me for a while.
The '07 game, Saban's first year, against Tennessee came out of nowhere too. An asswhipping when we hadn't shown much to date. It was the first in the current streak. Not really surprised we won--UT was always close. Was surprised at the domination.
'08 vs vs Clemson early on was also an eye opener.
Those early days on the way up were some of the most fun.
