The best win and the worst loss since 2000?

In honor of the entertaining Tennessee game thread, I am wondering what the Rant feels is the greatest regular season win for LSU since 2000 and what is the worst loss in that time span. You can view the game in whatever context you choose, whether it be looking back at the game now or how you felt immediately after.
For me, I felt like the most dominant, enjoyable win was the 2007 Virginia Tech game. LSU so thoroughly beat VT that night that I am not sure I will ever see a more impressive win in my lifetime. Also, it ended up arguably being the most important win of the season for LSU. If switches a loss in that game with the Arkansas or Kentucky loss, VT would have probably gotten the nod over LSU for the BCS NC.
As far as the worst loss is concerned, I think 2008 Alabama is it for me. Not only did we give one up to Saban for the first time, it was a game in which LSU completely outplayed Alabama in every facet of the game. Although I truly like JL (no homo), he was simply cursed that season and the Bama game is the lowlight of that season.

Best--beating Oklahoma for the national championship in '03
Worst--i agree bama '08 now that you mention it. so pumped when we blocked that chip shot field goal than lee throws his 27th interception of the season in the endzone. I was pissed off the rest of the week.
ETA: my bad you guys. didn't see regular season. 2007 UF was easily best regular season win for me. apologize for all who were offended.

Best: 2007 Florida

Auburn game was fixed. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

I know that you said best in the reg. season but I had to include one outside of the reg season. The reg. season would be against Fla. in '07.
Best overall win: against OklaHOMOS in the 2003 NC.
Worst loss: Ark in 2002. If we win that game we play for the SEC champ. but 3 plays and 70? yards later, we lose.

Best win - Georgia in 2003
Worst loss - Auburn in 2006
ETA: Virginia Tech in 2007 was pretty big. It got us in the national championship.
"Virginia Tech is playing so well right now. They should go to the national championship game. They might be the best team in the country."
"Well LSU beat them by 40."

Insane game and atmosphere. Were we favored? I know we were ranked 10th and they were 7th, but were we favored at home?
