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!

The committee was putting in Alabama unless the entire state was vaporized between the Iron Bowl and Sunday.

Look, alls I'm saying is you cannot lose to lowly pitt with a losing record an a true freshman QB, on the last game of the season, when you're undefeated and ranked 2nd. That's was not meaningless, in my eyes, because that is a not Miami football. That's not Canes mentality. It was crazy to lose that game.

Maybe. Would have been difficult to do that with a 1 loss Miami team. Bama loss to a 3 loss Auburn team.
 
A lot fun good ones mentioned...no question the Fiesta Bowl was vs OSU is #1


Haven't seen it mentioned but Alabama crushing us in the Sugar Bowl for the National title still haunts me
 
Either the OB finale, 86 title game, or fiasco bowl. All 3 were incredibly devastating.
 
Still not the worst loss in UM history.

Honestly, undefeated or no, losing because of the refs and not the team you faced hurts worse and is worse because you got mother****ed.

As stated earlier, the Pitt game isn't even top 30. We lost to Clemson, so any talk about getting screwed out of the playoffs is moot.

I agree. Plus, there is no shame in losing to good Teams, even in games you should win.....87 vs PSU, 1993 vs Bama, 2003 vs OSU, etc.

Losing to 4-7 Pitt while #2 .....EMBARRASSING!
 
Nobody is gonna talk about the loss to Pitt after this year. It's gonna be mostly forgotten cause it didn't cost us a **** thing.

This argument is stupid.

You can lose to Pitt once.

But you have to beat good teams to win championships.

Lose every game to good teams = no championship

Don't forget the '88 Notre Dame game.

Disappointing...Yes. Embarrassing....No? ND won the NC that Year.

We're not talking embarassing. We are talking WORST.

WORST loss is indicative of what the stakes were, what it meant for our program, the conditions of the loss and how bad we got beat.

The last OB game beats the Pitt game, and its not even close.

This. Remember that game like yesterday. I was a kid then and I vividly remember that was the 1st game I actually cried looking at. But that 03 Fiesta Bowl, it has a deeper impression on my mind b/c my gf’s father, at the time, was a Buckeye fan and I was w her family watching that game. He was a super mild dude, and I just remembered her entire family jumping around and celebrating around me....including her. We broke up shortly after. Lol.
