Most surprising would be the win in 2020 at Florida.

The most disappointing has to be the loss in 2022 at Texas A&M. Especially after beating Alabama in OT just a few weeks before.

Surprising - 2022 Alabama

Disappointing - 2012 Alabama or 2016 Florida

Most disappointing? 2022 Texas A&M
Most Surprising? 2020 Florida. Probably Florida’s best team post Tebow.

Most surprising win is without any opinion but fact, 2020 @ Florida. Most disappointing win? So a struggle win...I would say Arkansas this past year. Just a frustrating win. Changes to defense were just never made.

Loss can be different...I would say most dissapointing loss was Mississippi this past season. Most surprising was Missouri 2020.

Yesiree Bob. That game.

Don't like the "Around the Bowl" people and the Astroglide & Mechanical people in the SEC.

Tulane and Southwest Louisiana Junior College at Lafayette in the State. (Which I thankfully no longer reside in) ......

Best surprise was Bama 2022, hands down.

Disappointment? I’d argue 2023 Ole Miss, sheerly because of the defensive debacle. Still astonished we scored 49 and still lost

I don't understand people saying 2022 Bama was a surprising win. I fully expected us to win that game.

I'll go with your choice. Both seem like reasonable picks. I'll wake up middle of the night and think of a diff answer I'll come back.

Most surprising win - 2022 against Mississippi State. Third game of the season if I recall and with an opener loss and a new staff in place, it was nice to get a conference win at home.

Most disappointing loss - last year against FSU. Promising first drive but the game went sideways in the second half. Didn’t see that coming.

This shouldn’t even be debatable. We had just beaten Bama and had all the momentum in the world. LSU was at #5 in the CFP and all they had to do was beat an A&M team that was 4-7 (with 2 of the 4 wins being FCS teams) in order to setup a top 5 matchup in the SEC title game with a spot in the CFP on the line.

Most surprising win is 110% Florida in 2020 we had no business winning that game.

The obvious choice for the loss is 2022 A&M. An underrated choice for the most disappointing loss though may be the 2021 Auburn game. The fact that we let a shitty arse team led by Brian Harsin and Bo Nix come into TS and beat us to end the Cigar Curse made me astronomically pissed off. I was quite inebriated that evening but that was one of the angriest I’ve ever been leaving tiger stadium.

In recent memory, I feel similarly to OP. But also slightly could differ on which A&M loss was more disappointing. I’ll go with:

‘20 Florida - shocker and ruined a seeming coaching juggernaut path with Dan Mullen until then.

7 OT A&M year - the circumstances, the aftermath… although maybe we never become 2019 LSU without that taste in our mouths.

Most disappointing……a lot.

Being blown out by Kentucky and Kansas State.
Embarrassed by UCLA
Beaten down by Miss State
Losing twice to Florida State


Also, having a scrub QB from Miss state throw for 623 yards and set SEC passing records vs LSU’s defense in a double digit loss in LSU’s first game after winning the national championship.

For me, it was the 2021 game vs. Florida. LSU was 3-3 in that game coming off an embarrassing blowout vs. Kentucky. Going into that game it felt like LSU was essentially repeating the bad 2020 season and hopes for anything better had pretty much been dashed. The thought was that the end was near for Orgeron (and it was...though no one really knew that before the game). Florida had played #1 Alabama tough a few weeks earlier and was coming off a dominant win. Albeit vs. Vanderbilt. It was an 11:00 home kickoff and NO ONE was excited for the game. The people I usually go to the games with couldn't make it, so I decided to go by myself. One, because I was going to watch the game anyway. Two, it was an absolutely beautiful mid-October Saturday. I think it was something like 68 degrees at kickoff with a bright blue sky. I figure the worst case scenario is that LSU would get blown out by the 3rd quarter and I could head on home...Then LSU started to absolutely dominate Florida. The team that really couldn't run the ball to that point in the season started to crush Florida. I think LSU literally ran the same play over and over, and Florida couldn't stop it.

Absolutely! Many probably forget, but LSU was ranked #5 in the playoff rankings heading into that game. They had already clinched the SEC West and with a win vs. A&M would have been playing Georgia with a playoff berth on the line. A&M on the other hand was bad. 4-7 with seemingly nothing to play for. Unfortunately, LSU had some key missed opportunities, Daniels was injured, and A&M was the first team to really figure out how to make Perkins a non-factor (and trend that continued all through last season with House never being able to adjust). A disappointing end to an otherwise surprisingly good season.

2020 Florida. Not just because it was surprising but the way it happened.

Almost too many losses to choose from but it’s close between UCLA and Kentucky in 2021. UCLA because it was obvious we were in for another long year. Kentucky because it was Kentucky and the final score did not reflect how much of a blow out that game was.

to me most disappointing is, i'll say FSU in 2023.......yes, they were a good team, but i feel like kelly and co had a little too much confidence and not enough "lets get to work" pre game. and we had the entire offseason of "revenge" and just couldn't get it done.
