College Football vs NFL....could LSU Tigers beat the Cinncinati Bengals?

[Stampede]

Could the best college team, beat the worst NFL team? For example, if LSU played the Bengals in 10 games - could LSU win just one of them? In 2019, the Bengals were 2-14 and LSU was 15-0.

I'd say it's possible, since there have been a lot of terrible NFL teams and we've had some well balanced BCS champions.

What do you think?

 

[Freshly Minted Georgian!]

The realist in me says no college team can beat even the worst NFL team. Granted there are some outstanding athletes playing college ball but only a tiny fraction of college players are good enough to make the NFL.

The smart a$$ in me however says my grandma could beat the Bengals handily and she's dead!

Nope.

There would be some mismatches in talent that an NFL team could exploit. Think of it this way, even if the college team defense had 6 guys on it that would be drafted and that's big number, their are 5 other guys that are not NFL talent and I believe they would get shredded.

Same thing on offense. First of all your offensive line is going to be tasked with blocking NFL talent. Def. Ends at the pro level would **** some offensive tackles up on the edge pass rush. Joe Burrow as good as he was last year would probably struggle some with the speed of the game. We see that time and time again with rookie QB's in the NFL make bad choices and throw picks. So with a NFL pass rush barreling down on him he would make mistakes. Also, if the college team had a great prospect at WR, you know the NFL team is going to take their best cover corner and shut that **** down. Mismatches all across the board.

It's fun to think about but even the worst NFL team would beat the best college team.

This, I love the college game and could care less about the NFL but we're talking about the combined elites of their game.

everyone knows that Alabama is the only team capable. haha

 

[fslc94]

No

 

[BillsCamino]

Nope...NFL teams have Pros in all positions. College teams...not so much.
Plus, you'd have to take into consideration the experience level of an NFL team.

 

[Tony2X]

No

That's like McEachern playin Georgia Tech.

 

[WallsGa]

The college teams wouldn’t even score. Heck, they may have to forfeit due to too many injuries.

Agree the NFL team wins. That said, pretty well all eligible LSU players are getting drafted.
