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

Based on this link, the college team could win 6% of the time. Okay. I thought it could be as low as 1% : 1 out of 100 games played.

"Online sports simulations company WhatIfSports.com crunched the numbers and deduced that over the course of 1,001 games, the Browns would beat Alabama 93.9 percent of the time. By a blowout, too: The average score was 33-14."

There you go. You asked about a 10% chance. This calculated a 6.1% chance. All the NFL sluppers shudder at the thought......

I'm sure he will have an interesting season but he will make some rookie throws. That **** he can force in college will not fly in the NFL. That being said, he will have some amazing highlights, but no GM would not want a team of rookies.

Reading that reminded me of people saying the exact same sort of things about Leonard Fournette. "Wait until he runs up against those big boys in the NFL. He just thinks he's seen 'speed'. The SEC ain't the NFL. He's going to find out what big boy ball is now!".
First year over a 1,000 rushing and over 300 receiving. Some of ya'll either have an inflated view of the NFL or a deflated view of tier 1 college programs. Those NFL players aren't created in a lab. They come from good programs with training, coaching, and facilities that on par with anything the NFL has to offer. Again, not talking average to average, but best to worst.
I don't watch the NFL but now I'm really curious what these guys will do, so at some point I hope I remember to come back to this thread and check some stats.
Clyde Edward-Hellaire was the LAST pick in the first round. Anyone want to wager on his over/under yardage this coming year?
For the record, I don't think Joe Burrow is 'great' and there are probably better QB's out there. He was simply in a system, that worked perfectly for him. Don't get me wrong, I think he's got talent, a ton of grit and isn't an sphincter. For those reasons I hope he has an astonishingly successful career. I have zero idea if the Bengals will make use of him or not or if being the #1 pick for the worst team is a career death sentence.
On the flip side of that, LSU's last #1 overall pick that was a QB, was a veritable idiot on (and as it turned out, off) the field and I never could understand why he was rated so high despite being an absolute horse of an athlete. I honestly figured he should be a third rounder. Mr. JaMarcus "Purple Drank" Russel did exactly what I figured he'd do.

I believe they could!

All NFL players weigh 450#s, run a 3.1 second 40, and dead lift 1,500#. Stop dreaming.

I'm on the side that thinks the best college team could beat the worst NFL team ONE out of TEN times.
You're one the American hating side of the NFL.

They still don't believe it's possible - I say the best college team could win one game if they played the worst NFL team enough times. Who knows what could happen in 100 games?

I think the thing that hurts even the best college teams compared to an NFL team is lack of size, strength, and speed. There's a massive difference, aside from a few college stars, compared to even a mediocre NFL player. Usually a bad NFL team is more due to lack of good coaching vs bad lack of talent. But I can't imagine the LSU defensive line being able to effectively handle the Bengals O-line and visa versa.

That's the main reason that even college superstars can struggle their rookie year in the NFL. It's a whole new level.
