Alabama has tied FSU with longest streak for consecutive 10 win seasons (14 straight).
Yeah, but they play more games now.  Context.

Utah's last 2 TDs before the half came quick from guys who just kept ballin' and breakin' tackles and refusing to go down

but the game was in Columbus- and I still can't figure out how Ohio State lost to this Oregon team. It boggles the mind.
The Ducks just seemed to set the tempo and kept that pace up.They deserved it no doubt

Their run was in fewer games, so to win 10 per year, that required a better win%.  
Whether that's better or not is up to the individual.

Which theoretically makes it easier to get to and win championships - all things being equal

The 'fun fact' had nothing to do with championships, just wins.

I think you're arguing just to argue.  

Winning 10 games every year when you average 12.1 games per season is harder than if you average 13.4 games per season.  
Wins.
Annual.
Consecutive
Math.
Logic.


Try it.
