Could the best college football team....

Win in a game against the WORST NFL team?

We've been having this discussion. I say NO. To me, it's still men against boys. I mean, it would be NICE to see USC rip all over the Chargers, but I mean, it would never happen. LT would run ALL OVER that USC D.

Boy I just opened up a can of worms...

[madmax]

No. They would get killed unless Rich Kotite was the coaching the NFL team.

Just as unlikely as the best HS football team beating the Worst D-IA team.

Still a very wide gap b/w the two.

There are plenty of USC players starting that will never be NFL starters.

[amycat412]

Even I will say its unlikely. Its a different game in the NFL and college players are still kids.

I think its possible, but quite unlikely.

Now Oklahoma against the Chargers....







kidding.. I'm not that much of a homer

HA HA That was funny. Could it be? We're AGREEING w each other today (mostly)?

Let's widen the stakes...

Could an All Star team of the best college players in any given year beat a bad NFL team?

Maybe. Even that might be a stretch.

I don't think so - there are some college guys who put up great numbers who couldn't cut it in the NFL. A lot has to do with quality of competition.

Agree. Although there might be a year here and there where there is an abundance of real quality college "stars."

But, as has been pointed out, the two games are pretty different. Coaching would play a pretty big role as well.

True - maybe last year, with guys like Mike Williams, Manning, etc. More NFL ready players than in past years.

It's a Kodak moment

Nah, even a superstar team in my opinion would get their asses handed to them. I think the difference would be at the lines. Those NFL vets are too much bigger and too much stronger.

Did anyone watch the Browns preseason game where some unknown DL player just completely ABUSED the Kellen Winslow II? It'd go something like that.

[ameri_fan]

No, not even close. I mean star players in college take a crap in the nfl there first few years. NFL players are far too strong

[PiEp299]

Wouldn't be a contest. The pros are all all-stars to begin with. The jump in talent and ability would be too much.

[dakareng]

Even the worst team in the NFL are still professionals. They still have defenders that would overwhelm most college players. A team of all-stars might be able to hold their own for a quarter but certainly not for a full game. That's when you'd see the difference that being able to train year-round would make. The perfect example is how few Heisman winners do well their first year. The leap in competition is another reason why jumping from High School to the NFL is not a good idea. Can you see a 19-20 year old who think's he's invincible going against a 34 year olf 12 year veteran linebacker.... would not be pretty.

Hahaha, Morningwheg or Kotite would make things interesting.

I don't think an all-star team would beat the worst NFL team only because you have to be great to make the NFL to begin with.
