Post 1977 only and based on ranking of said team at the time we played them.

Not as much embarrassing as costly...

I wanted to pick 1990 UCLA, because I was at the game and I'm not really over it. Didn't cost us? the Rose Bowl, but it was late in the season and cost UW a #1 ranking.

The 1982 Wazzu loss cost a Rose Bowl berth.

As much as this past Saturday sucked, I can't see it topping 1990 UCLA. That one to me will always be our greatest day of infamy type loss. Who's to say how the final AP/Coaches Poles would have shaken out in 1990 with CU and Georgia Tech, but 12-1 in 1990 would have been one hell of season. The difference with this year is we just aren't a legit NT contender (i.e., you can't beat Bammer with a Jake level QB unless you get every break imaginable).

The 1990 UCLA loss still hurts. 25-22 @ home. I hate Tommy Maddox.

1990 loss likely cost a National Championship

All of you are wrong.

Disqualified. #20 is not an unranked opponent.

You know a lot for a WIsconsin fan.

UCLA was soul crushing and I actually think has led to a lot of my life long alcoholism. Not kidding.

I was still a tween and too young for the firewater at the time, but it was the first time I can remember being truly fucking pissed watching a football game.

I was still throwing shit as late as 1997 over that game.

I've killed too many brain cells to remember anything else.

Any loss to the Ducks is an embarassment but one that they play at home games 23 years later is the worst.
the other games just pissed me off. and helped me become the grumpiest loser ever. now that I am an adult? I get over a loss in 2-4 days

this is hardly the worst, but I'm a millennial doog and don't remember any others so I'll just go with this one by default

Good thread. The 2001 Beav game sucked. We went from being talked about as a Natty dark horse to getting plungered by a 5-6 OSU team with Smitty as their QB. SI's #1 preseason team. Simonton and Steven Jackson gashed us all game long.

You young fucks are lucky you aren't burdened with remembering 1990 UCLA . Brutal.
