In no particular order:

1. Motor City Bowl
2. Hawaii 2001
3. vs. Texas A&M in Holiday Bowl
4. Losing 7-0 to Utah, ending scoring streak
5. So many of the Crowton blowout losses, that they blend together

it was actually 3-0 final score, so it obviously was not that much of a memory.

The absolute worst was the Nevada Reno disaster.

Second was probably Ronnie Jenkins getting caught.

Third, Luke breaking his leg in Starkville.

Fourth, wasn't there some hideous Crowton game against UNLV?

Fifth, 1890 - early 1970s

I agree except that #5 should also be UTEP 1985. Worst loss ever and it's not even close. Name any other time a top 10 team lost to a team that went 1-10.

Only 4 times has a team that was ranked in the AP top 10 at the time of the game lost to a team who only won 1 game all year.

Code:

Season	Team	            Rank	Opponent	PF	PA
1967	Texas Tech	     10	Mississippi St.	        3	7
1978	UCLA	              8	Kansas	               24	28
1981	Alabama	              2	Georgia Tech	       21	24
1985	BYU	              7	UTEP	               16	23

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
