Always held Musburger in high regard because of this though I'm not sure that absolves him for making the word "pardner" common parlance for every booth buddy combo in sports broadcasting. I cringe and throw up a little every time I hear it... which is a god awful amount.
Why not claim '51 too?
Kinda hard to give that one to them as they tied a 5-4-1 Duke team. The writers awarded part of the title in 1952 to a half ass Michigan State team that squeaked by a pathetic Oregon State team, and didn’t even play in a bowl. Meanwhile Tech went to the Sugar Bowl and dismantled one of Ole Miss’s best ever teams.
Not sure who the other teams were in '51 who were better, but 10-0-1 is pretty damn good, Duke or no Duke. Some more obscure polls did rank us number 1, if I remember correctly. Also came close in '56 losing only 0-6 to Tenn, in what was once called the greatest college football game ever played. That last distinction has long been passed on to several other games.
