Texas actually had a higher win % than Alabama through 1957, according to stassen. Texas was .70057 and Alabama was .68647. UGA was .60512.
Uh, excuse me...both Alabama and Georgia played in the old Southern Conference and then the SEC...Texas played in the now defunct, then debunked SWC. Playing in the SWC was akin to playing in a Canadian high school league.
Number of times current SEC members were voted #1 from 1869-1957 per NCAA records = 23
Number of times then-SWC members were voted #1 from 1869-1957 per NCAA records = 8
Look at what kind of a league Texas played in = Romper Room and Friends.

The polls didn’t exist until 1936. Even if an SEC team won every national title from 1936-1957, that would only have been 22 national titles.
