I think this is actually it. Historically, both programs have been very, very good. So when one team goes through even a slight downturn, it results in a lengthy streak by the other.

So you, both of you, are basically saying that the series is unforgiving to the program that may be suffering through a downswing at the time?
A quick perusal of the mid 80s through early 90s would suggest otherwise. Bama won seven in a row against some pretty good UT teams when, perhaps, Bama was not at their best.
Conversely, Bama lost a ton of games against UT in the 50s when, perhaps, UT was not at their best. Especially 55-59.
