This. Everyone typing on this board right now and their kid's kids will all be dead and gone before someone sniffs this with the parity and freak wins/losses in the FBS today.
Oklahoma: 47 games (1953-1957)
USC: 34 (2003-2005) - if USC converts a 4th down and 2 in the Rose Bowl, they extend their win streak next year to 41 games before losing to the Beavers.
Miami (Florida): 34 (2000-2003)
The record has been sniffed.

Dimaggio himself exposed the flaw in this: "After the streak ended, the pressure was off".

If you want to go way back, Washington went 64 games in a row without losing. Gil Dobie coached 61 of those and never lost during his coaching tenure at UW.

Olympic records among others:
Edwin Moses - 122 consecutive wins - Between 1977 and 1987, Moses won 107 consecutive finals (122 consecutive races) in the 400 M hurdles.
USC - 23 Consecutive Golds - USC has had a student athlete win a Gold Medal in every single Summer Olympics since 1912...including the boycotted Moscow Olympics.

Uhh, this was still USC in 2006 - they weren't losing the early part of their 2006 schedule...in fact, Losing to Oregon State was a massive upset.
I'm fairly confident..."the pressure being off" wasn't something that ever happened at USC at that time...when they were the target of everyone.

there are a lot more flaws in that shitty logic than just the pressure being off

Tiger: 6 usga titles in 6 years - 3 us juniors and 3 us am's all in a row. 
Went 36-0 in match play in those 6 usga events. That is the most unbelievable thing he has done.

Dick Fosberry going over the high jump bar backwards in the Olympics. It looked like trick photography.

Most passing TDs in a game:
NFL: Norm Van Brocklin (7)
NCAA: David Klinger (11)
Peyton would've broken Brocklin's record 5? years ago against Detroit, but they were already up big so he was benched.

Michael Powell has now held the long jump record longer than Bob Beamon.

London Fletcher playing in 240 consecutive games at linebacker over 15 seasons is extremely impressive to me.

didn't Brady have 5 in the second quarter a couple of years ago?
the really amazing record: Van Brocklin 554 yards in a game. In 1951

Most career yards returned after an interception is Ed Reed at 1547. I wonder if he will crack 2000 before he retires.

Cy Young winning 511 games...in an age where we may never see anyone reach 300 again, that's a pretty mind blowing feat. And while we're at it, his 316 losses will never be touched either
ETA: IMO, it's probably the most unbreakable record in baseball

I know you're better than this.
The Sooners had a span of 82 games where they went 76-4-2. Their 4 losses were by 6 points, 7 points twice, and 1 point. If they don't lose 0-7 to Notre Dame in 1957, and 14-15 to Texas in 1958, the streak would have been 62 straight wins. Notre Dame scored on 4th and 3 and intercepted Oklahoma in the endzone in 1957, and Texas scored with 3 minutes remaining to edge out Oklahoma in 1958.
No team has remotely sniffed the Oklahoma record.
Getting beat less than 75% of the way there, while extremely impressive, is not sniffing the record.
