3. LSU 63, Oklahoma 28, Dec. 28, 2019, in Peach Bowl in Atlanta

This was clearly the worst loss in Lincoln Riley’s coaching tenure at Oklahoma. The Sooners were the No. 4 seed in the 2019 College Football playoff going up against No. 1 LSU, and the Tigers rolled all over the Sooners. This game was over by halftime with LSU owning a 49-14 advantage.

Behind Heisman winning quarterback Joe Burrow, LSU totaled almost 700 yards of offense while holding the Sooners to 322.

The second half was played to a 14-14 tie, but that’s because most all of the damage occurred in the first 30 minutes.

About the only consolation Oklahoma can take away from this game is that LSU also destroyed undefeated Clemson in the national championship game that season.
