Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The graphic below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and D750.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 60D because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon D750 will provide you with more detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 60D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
