Alabama only had 6 10+ win seasons by 1960. But, Bama's winning 11 in a row is impressive.
Also impressive is OU having 16 10+ win seasons since 2000 (Bama has had 12 since 2000).

Everyone had very few before then.
10 win seasons used to be very rare, the regular season was 9-10 games long, you had o go undefeated or have a single loss.
They added an 11th regular season in the early 70's and that's when they started becoming mroe common.
Then you had conference title games in 92, then a 12th regular sesaon game in like 04/05.
It's a hell of a lot easier to get 10 when you play 13-15 games vs 11.

Also not impressive is that OU was in a pretty weak conference. Heck, for that matter OU is still in a pretty weak conference.

Might have something to do with the fact that between 1892-1920, Alabama only played two 10-game seasons (1904 and 1905). And it wasn't until the 1950s that we started to even play 10-game regular seasons on a consistent basis. The average regular season for Alabama from 1920-1950 was 9 games. And, up until the mid-1930s, if you weren't invited to the Rose Bowl, you didn't have an opportunity to play a 10th game. And we sucked in the 50s, so it makes sense why we only had 6 10+ win seasons by 1960.
