Would love to see top SEC teams play some mid level NFL teams.

Depends on the particular matchup, but yeah, people forget that Alabama, as great as they are, has at most 30 NFL-quality players on their roster, probably less. In comparison, the worst NFL team has over 50 NFL-quality players on their roster.

Of course, talent isn't everything... teamwork and coaching matter too, so Bama would have a chance against the NFL bottom-feeders on that basis. But in 10 games, a bad NFL team would win 7 or 8. And against a mid-level NFL team, Bama could keep it interesting, but that's about it.

the idea that any college team would compete against any NFL team is absolutely insane.

The NFL turns its nose up at college superstars trying to decide who to keep on their practice squad.

Even the VERY BEST college players often times don't ever even start in the NFL.

whatever you consider the greatest college football rosters, 19 LSU or 04 and 05 SC or 05 Texas or 01 Miami, would have zero shot at beating a NFL roster

I agree but for slightly different reasons. By the time a NFL player is a regular starter, he's WAY more fire tested than even a senior player in college. Much more likely to know more things, have been through more training,, seen more things... ect, ect. So he might be a season 1 player in the NFL but he's already ahead of any college player in knowledge, training, and experience. A team of those players vs a college team will always win. Even with mediocre coaching.

Same things could be said about FCS versus FBS in college football, and yet every season several FCS teams with far less talent notch upsets over FBS teams. Talent helps -- a lot -- but talent isn't everything. Coaching and teamwork matter too, and sometimes good ol' fashioned luck as well.

Schedule 10 games between 2019 Alabama and the 2019 Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals will win most of those, but I'd be willing to bet Bama could steal one or two. Go above Cincinnati in the standings though, and yeah, Bama's already-thin chances disappear quickly.

We'll never know for sure, though... no way in hell the NCAA or NFL would ever allow such a game to happen. It'd basically be an exhibition game with nothing substantive on the line, so the risk of serious injuries in such a game nixes it right there. Plus there'd be nothing to gain for a cellar-dweller NFL team in such a game -- win, and it's "Well, sure, you can beat a bunch of kids, but you were supposed to." Lose, and they're universal laughingstocks forever.

EDIT: Dammit, I must have Bama on the brain. Make that 2019 LSU.

get off the bama' bs, we all know the Dawgs a better team.


There isn't a college team out there who could beat any NFL team, maybe 1/100. the NFL players are just to physical, the Line alone would win the game.

The talent gap between FCS and FBS is alot closer than college to NFL.

Also the schemes are more complex in the NFL than college.

Complex schemes still have to be executed correctly... and a 2-14 NFL bottom-dweller probably isn't doing very well at that.

And y'all are responding as if I'm saying 2019 LSU would beat the 2019 Bengals 10 out of 10. I'm not. I'm saying they'd win one or two out of ten.

If talent was everything, then upsets would never happen. But they do.

I wish it would happen, because I'd take your bet for as much as you'd be willing to wager. Only way a college team comes out with a win is if the mafia gets involved and the NFL team throws the game. As Sithas said, the lines alone (on both O & D) would absolutely dominate the game.

Unless you want to start throwing out things like "it's snowing, the NFL team's QB, HB, and 3 OL are all hurt, their FS has a massive hangover, and both DEs got food poisoning the night before"...then I can see the odds moving to the 1 in 50 range.

We'll never know, but it's fun to debate about.
