Answer 1 :
I don't believe so. I think the detroit lions of last year (0-16), would dominate against either of them.
Answer 2 :
Nope. NFL players are much bigger, stronger, and faster.
Answer 3 :
Probably not very well. Any pro team is probably to big, to strong and to smart for any single college team. Remember, that pro team, bad as it is, was recruited from all the colleges in North America.
Answer 4 :
no. well, not this year. look at all the terrible teams: detroit (when stafford's healthy) is still decent. cleveland has turned things around with harrison oakland's defense is coming back, and has been passing a lot better houston, who used to be just disgusting, now has a positive record kansas city, probably the worst team, beat the saints. and all these teams have the best players in the country. they are also bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, and more experienced. so, no. they couldn't compete with the NFL
Answer 5 :
No. Case closed.
Answer 6 :
It depends on what you mean by compete. The best college team in the land would be a serious underdog against any NFL team.
Answer 7 :
I would love to see it. But nope. Even the worst team in the NFL would dominate The Best College team. Not just with talent, but with the Idea of being embarrassed by a bunch of 18-21 year old kids.
Answer 8 :
Only 10 players on the best college team will ever even play in the NFL. maybe 5 will start
Answer 9 :
No. Realize that an NFL team is made up of the best college players. Even a bad NFL team would kill a very good college team.
Answer 10 :
Not even close. Rough guess, there might be 10 guys on the field Thursday night that will ever play in the NFL. Detroit might be bad but at least they are all NFL players.
Answer 11 :
I don't think so. The pro teams are more experienced, and have better depth of talent. They are also a lot stronger.
Answer 12 :
Not a chance!
Answer 13 :
No and you're an idiot if you can even consider it. The best college team of the last decade would not come within 3 TD's of the worst NFL team of the decade.
Answer 14 :
not a chance..
Answer 15 :
They probably could right up to the opening kickoff. Then it would be all downhill from there!! Maybe if Alabama and Texas had both their teams on the field(22 players) for the whole game they might be able to compete.
Answer 16 :
Yea...if they let Ndamokong Suh play for either team!!!
Answer 17 :
it depends.. if was Alabama with SEC refs.. probably.. but on a level playing field? haha.. here's my take.. worst team in NFL.. is what Tampa Bay? you realize Carnell Williams hit 80 yards on his first ever play vs Alabama in college?
Answer 18 :
Of course not. 10% to 20% of an awesome college team are good enough to go pro, all of the players on ANY pro team were good enough.
Answer 19 :
No. Never. Just like the top high school football team could not compete with the worst college football team.
