couple of games come to mind:  2005 Alamo Bowl with NU coming out on top 32-28 after this: (Per Wikipedia)

Michigan's last-ditch attempt to win the game came on a seven-lateral scramble somewhat reminiscent of the famous Cal-Stanford band play. Henne completed a pass across the middle of the field to Jason Avant, who caught the ball at midfield and immediately lateraled to Steve Breaston. Breaston threw the ball backwards to Mike Hart, who lateraled back to Avant. Avant then threw the ball across the entire width of the field, where Manningham caught it as he was being tackled. Manningham attempted another backward pass, which hit the ground and bounced two or three times off the hands of two Nebraska defenders, before being picked up by Michigan Center Mark Bihl, who lateraled to Tyler Ecker. Because the ball had hit the ground, several members of both teams and the media, believing the play was dead, rushed onto the field while Ecker ran downfield. Controversially, several of the officials began to leave the field, unaware that the play was still occurring. Nebraska players also gave their coach the Gatorade dunk before the play was over, reminiscent of the Bluegrass Miracle. Ecker dodged several players and coaches and returned the ball approximately 60 yards to the Nebraska 16-yard line. At that point, Cornhusker cornerback Zackary Bowman knocked him out of bounds after time had expired ending the game.

I was jumping up and down yelling at the tv with that one.  Thank you, Zackary Bowman!  

The other game that comes to mind is the 2009 OU-NU game where we pulled out a 10-3 slobber knockin' win.  It was the last game my dad went to before he died and he was so tickled with the defensive battle.  Both Suh and McCoy deserved all the accolades they got in their careers -although Suh should have gotten the Heisman, lol.

I've watched A LOT of football over the years.  That MSU-UM blocked punt game is the #1 worst sudden-loss ever.

I think the Baylor 'statement' game in 2000,  loss would be the worst sudden loss ever.  
Baylor's first year coach wanted to make a statement, leading 24-21 vs UNLV, wanted to punch it in at the goaline instead of taking a knee.   Instead,  UNLV strips the ball,  fumbles and UNLV takes it 100 yards to the house for a 27-24 win, denying HC Steele his first win at Baylor.
