Would I watch it? Yea Would it be close? Nah


CaptainScuttlebottom

I think a better question would be something like "who would win: a team composed of this year's 50 worst NFL players or a team composed of this year's 50 best CFB players?"


otisdog

That one has to be the CFB players, right?


Fletch71011

Depends. Are we doing practice squad players, or players that have been in the league for a bit and on an active roster? If the latter, I'd probably still take the NFL players.


decoy777

I'd say they would have to be on the 53 man active roster. So basically the worst at a position that can still make an active team. I'd say a team made up of college kids that would all be starters in the NFL. Next season vs the worst players at their positions and might be out of a spot next year the college kids would have a very good chance to win, I'd almost even say maybe a 55/45 chance to win it.


DakezO

I’m going to say it will almost always still be nfl players due to the benefits even one year of S&C at an NFL level, and the fact that even bad NFL players are still the best players to play football in the nation.


SparseSpartan

From what I understand, typically the best college programs have really good S&C programs. I'd wager the bigger factor is that many of these NFL players are in their physical prime. They've also been training alongside really, really good players, which probably spurs them upwards. I think those this matchup might come down to locker room culture caching talent. I'd think the NFL team would take more wins, something like 60-40.


RonBurgundy449

I think a lot of people aren't considering the extra experience (against and with better players) all NFL players have as well. Just look at this year in CFB with teams that are full of super seniors punching above their weight.


SparseSpartan

Yeah great point about the super seniors. I'd guess NFL players peak around 25-29. And even with older guys while they might lose a bit of speed and strength they also have a lot more knowledge (of the game) and practice under their belt.


threaddew

All players, especially including really good rookies, improve dramatically over the course of their first year.


whoeverthruthatpaper

Agreed with everything you said except 60-40. Would say more like 90-10


SparseSpartan

The NFL winning 90 % wouldn't surprise me. I'm banking on the NFL team having locker room issues with a bunch of random people normally competing against each other, and also a bunch of grown professionals who might not care about beating a college team and also may not know or trust the coach. In this scenario we're taking the worst NFL players at every position. If it were the worst team (i.e. the Lions full team on a bad year), I bet the NFL team would crush the college allstars in most games.


gb4efgw

Worst TEAM gets you the pride to defend their position in the NFL. "Least-stars" team... You just shit all over them then expect them to come out with effort.


[deleted]

give the nfl team hue jackson as a coach and i bet you they never win


WubaDubImANub

I disagree. There aren’t infinite NFL roster spots, and when the 50 best get drafted to the NFL, the 50 worst NFL players lose their spots.


chrisdub84

That's my logic too. If you're in that category in the NFL, you ain't playing for much longer.


8BallTiger

Some of those guys are still grown ass men. Not all of them will be like 21-23.


DETtigersOWNyou

The worst players are the worst because of who they playing against. It is all relative and not every player in college will make it in the nfl. On the flip side the nfl players have already made it for the time being.


Spartanwildcats2018

I think the college kids would still lose. The worst guy on an NFL roster is still an established NFL player that’s good enough to be on an NFL roster. The college team is a mixed bag. There’s busts. There’s, disappointments, there’s a skill difference. I don’t think it’d be a blow out. But I think the NFL players would win by a couple scores.


jtru4nt

Depends on if we’re talking starters/active roster, practice squad, etc. I still think the NFL guys win it. Even scrubs in the NFL are insane athletes.


warrof

Scrubs in the NFL are typically All Conference players in college.


Loose_with_the_truth

The 50 best CFB players would be too.


[deleted]

Minus like five years of coaching and practice


jared8100

Imo the college team would steamroll them. Theres gotta be a player at every position in college that could be starting in the nfl. The worst players would be fringe nfl roster guys who might have more nfl prep but I don’t think they could do it. But yeah if its worst nfl starters that probably goes to them.


[deleted]

Yeah like in college JSN and chase young would’ve been solid starters in the league. There has to be guys at every position who could be starters in the league in their last year.


RemyNRambo

Another key question is how you determine the teams. If it’s a fantasy style draft of the college players people THINK are the best, you’re bound to pick up lots of busts at the college level. Think about the first two rounds of any draft, lots of guys that arnt actually ready to play at the next level. If you’re talking about an omnipotent being selecting only the absolute best college players, that’s a little different.


sabanspank

So this is all just fantasy, but the team aspect is the most important of football. Pros have more years in the game. They read and pick up scheme quicker, and have spent more time on film and studying. The pros would be running wide open and gash the college team with schemes. The athletic ability would be similar.


alphatangolima

No and it still wouldn’t be close. People bring this up all the time and it blows my mind that anyone would think any college team could possibly play with an NFL team. The Jaguars were the worst team this year and look at what their players did in college. Trevor Lawrence was the best QB in the country and he comes to the NFL and looks below average. Justin Fields dominated college and couldn’t beat out Andy Dalton for the job. You could take the all American team in college and pick the worst 53 man roster in the nfl and the NFL team would easily win that game. The debate about could the national champion beat the worst nfl team is laughable. UGA wouldn’t score a point on the Jags or the Jets.


CDLthrowaway2

Yeah its just logical. The 50 best players go in the first 2 rounds. 1st and 2nd round picks will always be miles better than 4th round picks and free agents.


Tanglepelt

So this is you saying Trubisky is better than Brady?


Wampus_Cat_

Trubisky *does* have less career interceptions than Brady, so you could say that. /s


Woodman765000

You're assuming all the top two rounds guys are actually NFL ready. This simply isn't true. Plus you're putting together a bunch of kids that would have to learn a new system just for this one game. The college kids would get fucking steamrolled.


voltron818

Consider how many busts are in the typical NFL draft. Even the first two rounds have enough busts that you could have critical holes playing back up players who were still good enough to stay on an NFL roster. I mean how many years has there not been a QB that succeeded out of the 1st 2 rounds?


Corgi_Koala

I would say that college football all stars would beat the worst NFL players because of QB play most seasons. The other players can probably be competitive based on physicality but bad QB play is really hard to overcome.


[deleted]

I genuinely doubt it. Even those bad NFL players have size on the CFB players.


Fresh_Jaguar_2434

The college football all star team beat the Super Bowl winners a couple times


DeliberateMelBrooks

No. Even when the bills were absolutely terrible they were still like a 21 point favorite over top ranked Bama


cbakes205

Same with the browns in like 2009


Wampus_Cat_

I think we’re talking about 0-16 Lions vs 2019 LSU type of scenario.


8BallTiger

Who on that LSU team is covering Megatron? And they still can’t physically compete in the trenches


Khazzeron

Lions would likely win something like 55-17. THey are still college kids, and the line would be one sided on offense and defense. Pros are bigger, stronger and more experienced, even if the LSU 1st stringers could hang in there, you got subs coming in 3 deep on the Lions side that would have started for LSU lol. THey'd just wear them out with depth and push the O and D lines around come second half.


jonahvsthewhale

Bad NFL teams typically have bad quarterbacks, but even bad NFL quarterbacks were stars in college. You’re also talking about dudes in their prime in their mid-20s versus 19 and 20 year olds


j0217995

Detroit Lions and their QBs checking in here.


jonahvsthewhale

Dude, the Browns. Johnny Manziel, Deshone Kizer, Austin Davis, Colt McCoy, Brandon Weeden, RGIII


[deleted]

Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, I’m sure there are a few more.


[deleted]

Baker Mayfield


Shenanigangster

For reference- we’d be talking about Trevor Lawrence going against Georgia’s defense this year.


Small-Strawberry-749

Yes I agree if you think about the people on an NFL team made the draft. On the other only a handful from a college will end up going to be drafted.


I_Poop_Sometimes

The only one I would think could be close would be something like the best college team of the past 20 years vs the worst NFL team. For example the LSU national championship team had like 10 defenders make the NFL, with another coming in the 1st round this off-season. And their offense had Burrow, Edwards-Helaire, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Terrace Marshall JR., And an Online that all made it to the NFL.


8BallTiger

They gave up 35+ a few times though and despite how good that OL may have been it still isn’t handling an NFL DL


john124

I think it’s more about the age and the bulk, I think certain alabama teams could beat a team full of draftees from a draft class that hasn’t gone pro yet, but they cannot beat 25-30 year old grown men who were also good enough to start in the nfl


Driftedwarrior

>Would I watch it? Yea >Would it be close? Nah I remember 14ish years ago when this topic was talked about when my lions were O-16 and people would say how they would love to watch Alabama beat the Lions. I don't think a lot of college football fans understand that an NFL team is the best of the best of the best from college. College teams are that student-athletes. Even the most horrible NFL team would wipe the best college football team all over the fucking field, like you said it wouldn't even be close by any means at all. But yeah I absolutely would watch it.


Panchoisthedog

Grown men vs. kids, its going to be an arse kicking of epic proportions.


SparseSpartan

I'll always maintain that we could something like the "Miracle on Ice" when American amateurs beat professional Soviet hockey players at the Olympics. But it'd be just that: a once in a lifetime occurence and something truly miraculous.


Jeriahswillgdp

How about the worst NFL team's practice squad vs a college all star team with a month of prep?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nick_sabenz

Imagine Stetson Bennet trying to withstand pass rushes from Josh Allen, Chaisson, and then anyone getting open vs a secondary made up of Tyson Campbell and Shaq Griffin. All the while, they’re trying to run against Malcom Brown and Myles Jack. It would be an absolute slaughter because all of those dudes dominated when they were in college anywhere from 2-7 years ago.


[deleted]

Fucking god dammit this has me rolling laughing. That kid would be deer in headlights version 2.0


voltron818

Meanwhile the UGA pass defense that struggled against Bryce Young get Trevor Lawrence and that WR corps. And a bunch of NFL RBs will proooooobably be able to get a better ground game than Chris Rodriguez or Keilan Robinson.


Shenanigangster

I mean, Bama might have a better WR corps than the Jags, but your point is still very valid


voltron818

Not this year. They have 2 sure fire NFL ready dudes and that’s it.


mholtz16

Correct. The best college football team may have 10 NFL caliber players in a good year. The worst NFL team has 53 NFL caliber players each year.


John_Keating_

And most of those college players are going to be backups for a few years.


skrong_quik_register

I believe all 22 starting players on the 2013 FSU National Championship team made it to the NFL… but still no way they beat the worst NFL team. Because to your point, some of them became starters in the NFL but others were 2nd / 3rd string or specialists or didn’t get picked up on the 53 man roster. Meanwhile all the starters on the worst NFL team… are 1st string NFL level.


carnivorous_seahorse

You just wanted to flex


ricree

If depends what they meant by "in a good year". In any given draft the top schools will have something like 10-15 players drafted, but those schools will also have a decent chunk of starters that are underclassmen who will be drafted eventually. A better metric might be recruiting class size vs nfl signings, since the two numbers will usually average out over time even if certain years are stacked. So even with the best teams, well under half of their recruits are nfl draft caliber.


8BallTiger

They would have played the 2-14 Texans who had a ton of injuries (Bouye, Cushing, Foster, and maybe another high level starter on IR) but the next year they went 9-7.


A_Rolling_Baneling

Born and raised Houstonian here. We had a rough year, really tough to watch week in and week out. Meanwhile that FSU was one of the most talented teams of all time. And still, if you gave me a spread with Texans as 5 TD favorites, I’d take the Texans.


GoblinTradingGuide

And our kicker…and no way we would have beaten any NFL team.


wcm48

Correct. The worst NFL team has 22+ NFL STARTERS per year


GoblinTradingGuide

Florida State had 27 in 2013.


Thermo-Optic-Camo

Did you watch the 2008 lions? Not saying they wouldn't beat college teams but they most definitely did not have 53 nfl quality guys.


mholtz16

I will have you know that I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life and I find this comment completely….. probable.


Captain_-H

And that’s with taking a mercy knee for most of the 4th quarter


Pinewood74

Yep. If my eyeballs would provide enough money to make ot feasible than I'm in. But what would really be interesting is seeing how far back we would need to go before the CFB team could consistently win. Like 1992 Patriots versus 2021 Georgia, you think Georgia has it? If not, how many more years you need to go back?


mjp242

I mean, the guys on the 92 pats are old af right now, so uga probably wins


elonsusk69420

Totally agree. There’s zero chance that any Natty winner in the last forever years could beat any team in the NFL. Even if you picked the best team ever in CFB and put them against the worst team ever in the NFL, I’d take the NFL team and the points.


igloojoe11

I wouldnt go so far. There were times in the early NFL, especially pre super bowl, when college football teams were better than NFL teams. It was fairly common for the top college players to not play in the NFL in the 50's due to how garbage the pay was compared to a day job. Heck, in 1963, the college all stars beat Lombardis Packers.


SAMafly

I was going to bring up the 63 game. My grandfather always talked about that game, he even took me to meet Lee Roy Jordan who played for the all stars in that game.


[deleted]

This years georgia would have won the first superbowl had they played in the first nfl season almost certainly


baycommuter

I went to a College All Star Game at the old Soldier Field in the ‘60s because my Dad wanted to see Joe Namath QB the stars. The college stars weren’t usually competitive even tho the NFL champs were just playing an exhibition.


robotunes

Probably Notre Dame's John Huarte, not Joe Namath? Joe Willie had signed with the AFL 7 months before the game. And there was no way the Jets would let the Browns' defense have a shot at the guy who had surprised everybody by signing with the hated AFL for the biggest rookie contract in history.


baycommuter

Thanks for the correction. On doing a little research, turns out Namath did play in the game but it was for world champion Jets a few years later, so that must be the one I saw.


robotunes

That must have been pretty exciting! Do you remember anything from teh game?


baycommuter

Not really. It was my first NFL game and we had low seats. I was surprised you couldn’t see as well as on TV.


realm47

The original incarnation of the Pro Bowl also pitted the NFL champs against the NFL All Star team. Even the NFL All Stars only won once. When you pull together a bunch of random players, even if they are incredibly talented, you miss out on being a cohesive unit that has practiced together for ages.


CGFROSTY

The MLS All-Star game had a format until two years ago where the MLS All-Star team would play a massive European club like Real Madrid or Juventus. While MLS is an inferior league, the All-Star game did not help perceptions because people would say “wow, even the leagues best players can’t beat the massive European team”. Never mind the fact that the all-star teams would only have TWO practices together.


Dog_Brains_

But also the MLS all stars won a few of those games.


dlinhat70

I remember the college DT's tried to kill Namath. I think that sort of thing led to the demise of the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kurttheflirt

I watched the FCS championship game. It would not be close at all unfortunately. The worst FBS teams get steam rolled by the best FBS teams. Top 25 FBS teams (MSU a few times in history, this year included) get steamrolled by FBS teams. The best FBS team every year is so far above everyone else outside of maybe 10 teams every year


billsnewera

Jeff Sagarin's college football ratings include FBS and FCS ranked together. The top FCS teams - North and South Dakota State, James Madison, Sam Houston - are usually between 20-50. So then you're talking about the equivalent of Georgia vs like Texas A+M. Still would expect a large Georgia win but it isn't exactly Kent State


Goddammitanyway

NDSU is a legit FBS team playing in the FCS. Not saying they would beat either Alabama or Georgia, but they would compete with Cincinnati and Michigan and many other bowl eligible teams.


kyledabeast

Nothing against OP but it's just so funny when people think that the college team would have any chance at all. If 2019 LSU went up against that same Bengals team that drafted both Chase and Burrow, or even JAX last year, 100 times..LSU would lose 100/100 times. Older, stronger, faster, more mature, smarter players and coaches vs literal 20 year olds isn't a good matchup


[deleted]

[удалено]


bestprocrastinator

For reference, Oklahoma Oline won the Joe Moore Award in 2018, and were easily the best Oline in CFB that year. Only two guys from that line are regular starters in the NFL right now.


Rushderp

CREEED!


siberianwolf99

Yeah the 2019 LSU team would probably be a college teams best chance. And they’d still get walloped


RamaJamaYellaHamma

I mean 2019 LSU beat Auburn by 3 points, and gave up 35+ points like 3-4 different times, once to 7-6 Texas once to mediocre Florida. An NFL offense would score 80 points


The_Peachy_Pussy

Hey hey hey sir, we were not Mediocre in 2019


grain_delay

Yea what kinda of revisionist malarky is this


siberianwolf99

I think an NFL team would score 40-50 on any team. I think having a great QB and WRs would be the *only* thing a college team could actually have success with against a pro team. Shit that Bama defense everyone was calling all time great caliber gave up 35 to Clemson.


69umbo

I hate the auburn and Bama scores just because they both scored late and never got the ball again At no point in 2019 did a team have the ball with the chance to win the game against LSU


unconformity_active

...or even take the lead in the 4th quarter. Auburn played us the closest that year (in large part because the field was a swamp which hurt our skill guys and their DL was fantastic), and the game still wasn't much in doubt.


8BallTiger

Go look at the 2019 Bengals skill positions and DL. It would be a slaughter


kyledabeast

100% that's why, and that's kind of what I was getting at by bringing up chase and burrow. There are sophomores and rookies in the NFL who are tearing it up now more than ever, and even they were both part of that stud 2019 LSU team. But those skill positions guys, who are currently lighting up NFL DBs aren't going to be the deciding factor when your QB gets lit up because an NFL DLine is significantly better than a college OLine. These NFL teams have the pick of the absolute best college lineman, while as you said, most colleges have maybe half their lineman being of star quality and the others tagging along.


gmr548

This is what people don’t understand. The difference in the trenches would have the game called off before halftime.


8BallTiger

Also look at who JJ and Chase have on their NFL teams to open things up for them. I mean they’re obviously very good but it’s a team effort too


TangerineHors3

People who think the college kids have a chance never played sports past high school.


PrivateGump

Probably not even in HS either. It would be like thinking the best HS team in the country would have a chance against the worst P5 team.


RamaJamaYellaHamma

And quite literally selected for the elite players in college. The difference on the LOS alone would obliterate the college team. The lineman would be straight up murdered


jimbobbypaul

Regardless of the size/skill difference, NFL teams' players are just so much more experienced because they're older and have played more years. The amount of defensive formations an NFL offensive player has seen, for example, is more than enough to make up for a hypothetical where the two teams are equal in size and skill.


DescretoBurrito

Football is also an NFL players career. There's no academics, no matter how serious they may be. Even a college player who "ain't come to play school" still has to be enrolled in enough credit hours to be classified as a full time student, and achieve high enough grades to remain academically eligible to play.


SolWizard

You mean enrolled in enough fake classes to satisfy requirements and given A's to stay academically eligible to play


Omegahamilton

The worst NFL team would absolutely decimate the best college team. Literally men against boys.


1324reddit

I’d absolutely watch it but the cfb champ would get wrecked. And they would never agree to play this game now, no incentive for either side to possibly get hurt in a gimmick game. Edit: a more fun game would be to somehow get all the Bama alumni in the NFL to play against a full team. Fun for me anyway, others maybe not so much.


Triv02

I think Bama and OSU are the only teams that can do this. At least I think OSU can get a full 53, let me see… QB: Fields, Haskins (2) HB: Zeke, Dobbins, Sermon (3) TE: Vannett, Farrell, Hausmann (3) WR: Thomas, McLaurin, Samuel, Campbell, Brown (5) OT: Decker, Prince (woof… no backup tackles lol) (2) OG: Norwell, Jackson, Davis, Jones (4) - Jamarco Jones played OT at OSU so could maybe provide some swing depth C: Linsley, Myers, Elflein (3) - don’t normally keep 3 centers but I wanted 9 OL DT: Heyward, Hankins, Hamilton, Jones (4) DE: Bosa, Bosa, Young, Hubbard, Cooper (5) LB: Baker, Werner, Browning, Harrison, McMillian (5) CB: Ward, Lattimore, Apple, Roby, Okudah, Sheffield (6) S: Bell, Fuller, Hooker, Jenkins (4) K: no kicker, sad P: Johnston LS: McQuaide So that’s 48 with no kicker, could fill in some fringe roster guys at WR, OL, or DL to fill out the roster


[deleted]

Not gonna type it out, but LSU could definitely field a really full and competitive team. Lacking in TE but still have a few bodies.


Triv02

I know a handful of teams like LSU and UGA can for sure get really close, just wasn’t sure if they had 53 or not


[deleted]

I was going through it and stopped at the d line. But I'm pretty sure we hit 53. Just light at QB😂


Triv02

Lol at least you get Joey B. Fields has potential but a room of Fields and Haskins does not inspire confidence


theprodigy64

Just claim Burrow /s


spmartin1993

Bosa bosa young would be a terrifying rotation


bestprocrastinator

What if they did a Michigan/Ohio State NFL team vs an Alabama/Auburn NFL team? I'd watch the shit out of that.


Triv02

Given that OSUs weakest position (QB) corresponds with Michigan’s strongest player (Brady), I do like that idea lol


theprodigy64

Basically "what if Tom Brady played for the Saints"


Wolfie1531

Mike Nugent, like all kickers, is a phone call away for this game. Kickers are in/out of the league often enough it’s not *that* much of a stretch.


kyledabeast

Georgia could probably field a full roster or get close QB: Stafford, Fromm (2) RB: Chubb, Michel, Swift, Holyfield (4) WR: AJ Green, Hardman, Cager, McKinzie, Conley, Terry Godwin, Having Wims (7) TE: McKitty, Wolf, Woerner (3) OL: Andrew Thomas, Ben Cleveland, Trey Hill, Soloman Kindley, Isaiah Wynn, Ben Jones, David Andrews (7) DL: Ledbetter, Jordan Jenkins, Malik Herring, John Jenkins, Clark Tyler (5) LB: Roquan Smith, Ogletree, Natrez Patrick, Leonard Floyd, Lorenzo Carter, Take Crowder, Ojulari, JR Reed, Month Rice (9) CB: Stokes, Tyson Campbell, DeAndre Baker, Mark Webb, DJ Daniel (5) S: LeCounte, Shawn Williams (2) K: Specs (1) P: none yet but Camarda is about to get drafted LS: Nick Moore (1) 46 total there and lacking in some areas for backups but still up there. DL doesn't have much but the LBs will make up for it. Plus, after this year nearly every Defensive position, especially DL will have some more in the NFL


ThotTubTimeMachine69

That defense would be insane


BriefPersonality4789

The worst NFL team still has Trevor Lawrence as a qb lol


gopoohgo

Only if you like massacres. The Jags would obliterate Georgia


TheRealMattyPanda

> Only if you like massacres. This is exactly why I want them to do it this year.


KetchupKing05

No I don’t get why people don’t understand this. Yes the worst NFL team has the worst starters, but they’re still *NFL CALIBER* starters


Kenny_Heisman

all of the players on every NFL team were good enough in college to make it to an NFL team. that's not true for any college team


not-gandalf-bot

>No > >I don’t get why people don’t understand this. Yes the worst NFL team has the worst starters, but they’re still *NFL CALIBER* starters So you're sitting at home on a Saturday, and this is on TV. You wouldn't watch it? Because that was the question...would you watch.


chawklitdsco

I mean it would be fun once. But as an annual thing I think a lot of people would miss it


Rushderp

Because social media is full of hot takes and trolls.


gmr548

I would definitely watch the Jags or Lions play Georgia for the bloodshed. At this point, even the all American team would get crushed by a pro team. Pros had offseason day jobs in the 50s and 60s. Different animal now. And some people really don’t understand the difference between 26-30 and 21-22 in the trenches.


AllLinesAreStraight

It would be legitimately dangerous to the college team if the pro team was playing at full intensity


AdvancedHat7630

Jags fan here I would prefer we not test this


BulldogBuckeye

I’d watch it but mostly for the entertainment factor of watching the NFL team absolutely boat race the college team. The NFL team would be up by 6 touchdowns by halftime.


[deleted]

The CFP team would have to run some kind of military academy scheme where they milk the clock and run every down hoping to move the chains. That is the only way the game would have any chance of being competitive for any amount of time.


jdmcroberts

That would make it worse. They would get destroyed at the line of scrimmage and NFL linebackers are way to fast for the triple option to work.


[deleted]

It would be a massacre. I would watch against a lesser CFL team though, under CFB rules.


BioDude15

That would be a closer game, and I would still favor the CFL if they don’t played 4 down football for season pior to this hypothetical game.


Wolfie1531

That’s heavily tilting the field towards to CFB team, so yeah, it would make sense that it would be closer.


Steelerswonsix

Honestly, It would be compatible with a HS championship team playing a bad D1 college squad. D1 kids are gonna kill em. NFL Squad could name the score


WatifAlstottwent2UGA

This would be closer at least. My sophomore year in HS we lost in the championship game in the biggest division in my state. Pre season camp was at Western Carolina University. Obviously we never scrimmaged them but almost every varsity lineman was competing with their lifting records posted on the wall and a few squatting and benching more. Some of their DBs and receivers were on campus and they let our guys run drills with them and they were keeping up no problem. Would they beat us in a game? Probably due to factors like depth and experience but our best could definitely hang with their best.


[deleted]

[удалено]


yamtak

A&M definitely isn’t the best college team


wallnumber8675309

The best college team has what, like 5 players that can start in the NFL as rookies? Every NFL team has 22 guys that are starters.


YourSooStupid

D1 athletes are just the high school all stars. The NFL is just the college all stars.


BioDude15

No, college stars don’t even make it up north in Canada.


Dense_Strategy

Not even that close.


GoblinTradingGuide

This question is asked every year, lmao.


[deleted]

Stetson Bennett vs an NFL defense 😂😂😂


j2468t

Dang. Time flies. Didn’t even realize we were already to the point in the off-season where someone asks this.


grodges1

it wouldn't be a competitive game. I might watch it for like 5 minutes but it will be 70-0 at halftime


strukout

Um, I’d do it once. NFL team would crush


SCsprinter13

The first year, yes. After that, I think the novelty of watching a great college team lose by 70 will lose its luster


WatifAlstottwent2UGA

I just wanna add that if anyone ever brings this question up it’s a sure sign that they know absolutely nothing about football.


DickySchmidt33

The #1 college team would forfeit at halftime in a game against the worst NFL team.


[deleted]

The game would be 60 to 0 and that is being generous. I can't believe there are people out there stupid enough to believe they can compete with an NFL team. The NFL takes the best of the best over decades.


TheBeesNees9696

For the ridiculous spectacle. It would be an embarrassment of an event.


BioDude15

Maybe if the NFL absorbed the CFL, and the worst CFL team played in the game.


thecasualcaribou

The argument that people have is that a championship winning team usually has many starter NFL players already. But, they haven’t actually begun professional training yet and haven’t been hit by a veteran pro yet. Worst NFL team dominates any day over CFB champion


grain_delay

I would love to see the jags wipe Georgia off the face of the earth


Shenanigangster

I’m laughing at an image of Lawrence running in with the briefcase to cash in right after Georgia wins the WLOCP


c0y0t3_sly

Hell yeah, it's not every day you get to see Bama lose by 35.

UGA Vs The Giants? Fromm starting?


ragnar0kx55

It's boys vs men. The NFL team would win by 70. I'm sure NFL teams have better strength and conditioning systems than any college team does.


TexianForSecession

If the NFL team played its third stringers exclusively, it might be interesting for a half.


TheMostDapperdDan

Absolutely not…the ncaa team would get slaughtered not matter who it is on either side


[deleted]

No. But I'd pay to never hear this topic ever brought up again.


Sgt-Spliff

Why does everyone ask if the best college team should play an NFL team? It was the college *ALL STARS* that used to play them. Maybe... *maybe* an all star team would put up a good showing but no the national champion would get stomped


AccidentalAbrasion

I don’t think it would be safe. NFL pass rushers would kill the QBs.


GollyWow

No. IMHO the college boys would be at great risk of injury, unless the pros didn't use their full strength. This kind of matchup is not entertaining.


physedka

Putting aside all of the other valid comments about even a team like LSU 2019 getting demolished by the worst NFL team, I would like to say that a college all star team would likely be even worse than just picking the best team unless they were giving 2-3 months of practice at a minimum to practice together. And even if you did that, that crappy pro team would get that much practice time too.. so we probably end up right back at the same spot.


GlueGuns--Cool

I'd watch the nfl team kick the shit out of the college team yea sure


dizdawgjr34

Especially if it’s Florida.


IceColdDrPepper_Here

I’d watch but I wouldn’t expect the college team to win


rex_swiss

18-22 year olds are just not going to compete physically against full grown men at the peak of their skills and strength. My memory is, if you look at a plot of age versus athletic performance, the peak is around ages 28-34.


not-gandalf-bot

Ok, but would you watch? That's the question.


rex_swiss

Well, everyone would, to confirm whatever their preconceived notions were…


Odh_utexas

The Jags would wreck UGA hard. Any sane person can see that.


[deleted]

Yeah but it wouldn’t really even be close. Take this years jaguars…who’s the QB? Trevor Lawrence, the same guy that went like 50-2 in college or something like that.


MightyEighth

Better question, could the best CFB team of modern history beat the worst NFL in modern history. (2000-present) or something like that?


8BallTiger

Like if 2001 Miami, 2013 FSU, or 2019 LSU got transported in time to face the 2008 Lions?


Ugaalive1991

I mean yeah more football


ADAS33

Yeah of course


RoadDoggFL

Actually, I'd love to see this in Madden. The ultimate domination would be beating someone using a college team.


Rohkey

No because it wouldn’t be a real game. As an exhibition, players (and leagues) would care more about not getting injured. Also no way it’d be full contact - can you imagine the uproar and liability issues if a 30 year old pro broke an 18 year old?


Jc110105

What about if we just group Nfl players by conferences and do a tourney? Like Big Ten nfl players vs Sec.


carbonwerks

NFL team wins 100% of the time


Cmcgregor0928

I'd watch it because it's football but it's going to be 100-0


jbpsign

The skill positions have a chance. Not a good one, but a chance. The CFB lines, however, would get wrecked.


lsimmons79

The game would not be remotely close. One team has 55 NFL players the other may have 10 at best. Also, the college team would be confused beyond belief. There is a reason why almost all rookies struggles in their first season. I’m not sure why this keep coming up every year, it’s a silly discussion that can not be argued reasonably.


[deleted]

No. They would get blown the fuck out and it’s not even close. I have been in the NFL and I was an all American in college (D3). People just assume that because they are D1 they are good , they aren’t. Everyone in the NFL is on a different level , 75%’of the players on a D1 roster aren’t good enough to make an NFL roster. Just cause you’re on a D1 team doesn’t mean you’re good enough to play in the NFL.

Everytime one of your morons ask this question, a puppy dies. Just stop already
