IMO, it's this year's loss to Pittsburgh, and it is not even close.

Here are a few that I am sure will be mentioned:

2007: 5-6 Miami, a team with a 1st year Head Coach, headed absolutely no where and then loses 48-0 to Virginia (#2 1, 8-2)

2015: 4-2 Miami, a team lead by an incompetent Al Golden, that lost to Cincinnati and then loses 58-0 to Clemson (#6, 6-0).

2017: 10-0 Miami, a team Ranked #2 in the CFP Poll, control their own destiny and then loses to 4-7 Pittsburgh, who started a True Freshman QB.

Again, IMO, it is not even close! The Loss to Pitt was Historic and a Failure of Epic Proportions!

What are your Thoughts?


P. S. Richt Apologists, even you can't defend the Pitt Failure, but you will try. LOL

2002 Natty set the program into a tailspain which it is just pulling out of.

That's the worst loss in the last 25 years for me.

If you think the Pitt loss is the worst in UM history, you probably just started watching this program.
 
.....You are kidding right?

Hail Flutie?

Fiesta Bowl vs. Penn State?

Terry Porters Phantom PI call?

UW breaking our home winning streak?

Virginia pounding us in the last OB game?

Cleveland Gary 'fumble'?


....And you pick us losing to Pitt this year as the worst loss in UM history?

You're probably being a troll....I hope.

There is no shame in losing to an undefeated team in the national championship game, especially after a hard fought battle.
 
The loss to Pitt isn't in the top 30. Cost the team absolutely nothing.

2000 game to Washington was costly

Yeah the Peach Bowl was a point where I knew the program was in deep, deep trouble.

We were sitting right above the tunnel where the fight broke out too, brutal game.

2003 VT game was also rough because the cracks were really starting to show.
 
Even though the OP is a troll, he is on to something. The worst loss is the 87 loss to Pedo State, but the Pitt loss is 2nd, IMO

Against Pitt we were ranked #2 , undefeated last game of the season, with the playoffs on the line, and we lost to a young team with a losing records, with a true freshman QB at the helm.

We've had bigger losses for sure (ND in 1988, PSU in 87, Taint in 2003), and we were still in a win and we were in scenario had we beaten Clemson, but the Pitt loss was inexcusable. That was a classic Mark Richt, in Charlie Brown mode.

If we beat Pitt and go into the ACC title game and lose, we're in exactly the same spot we are now. The Pitt loss was more or less meaningless other than what our ranking was heading into the ACC Title.

Maybe not. If we go into that Clemson game undefeated, we probably play **** of a lot better.....closer game. We get in over over Bama. Better loss!

This.

Losing a national championship game to a "good" team is still worse given that it carried actual stakes.

Losing to Pittsburgh but still controlling your own destiny?

Not exactly the worst loss ever.
