One of the dumbest things I've ever heard they just said during the Ohio State game

Idiotic.

The most inept NFL teams would beat them by 30+

Only if they let up halfway through the 2nd quarter.

Every year someone makes a comment about the best college team being able to compete with the worst NFL team.

Tell me you know nothing about without saying you know nothing about football

An FCS team would never beat a top 5 Michigan team.

Not the same.

here's to hoping

Name a closer comparison that actually happens.

A better example would be Corner Canyon vs Weber St. CC would get killed.

NIL might make the enormous the gap between college and the NFL a little smaller

It might get there someday. Today. It is not close.

NIL still won't give you a full team of NFL caliber players. And NIL will not

Good comparison.

Always makes me laugh. I’ve always wanted to watch the Browns thrash Bama

It's true. Too many ways to choose from to gash em.

I will die on this CB hill: the gap isn’t as wide as people think. How many NFL

Odysseus

That's 3 players, only 19 more to go.

Yep. NFL has 22 of “those” players starting, and another 31 waiting on the sideline

The Steelers wish they had one of Daniels, Nabers, and BTJ on their team

Odysseus

Truth

I dunno- I think the thing with the NFL is that they are really good

This was my big thought.

Courtimedes

I’m not saying a college team would win, but I don’t think the quote in your OP

Odysseus

He said an NFL team would have trouble matching up against their lineup. College teams just don't

CSoul

T/F: NFL teams would struggle to keep up with LSU’s 2023 skill position talent

Odysseus

2:33pm

False. They wouldn't because the lines would get blown up and it wouldn't matter.

CSoul

2:35pm

We’re talking past each other. Put the lines aside and answer the question

Odysseus

2:37pm

Sure, but that's not what the announcer was referencing though. Of course there is NFL talent on teams

CSoul

I do think 20-30 years ago the difference was closer before the amount of money in the NFL went crazy.

That MAY be true…but the difference will be offensive and defensive lines and

It doesn't matter. Their offense would get shredded by any nfl defense. Speed,

Most nfl teams had better than that. Then add in the other 19 players that are

Nope. The dumbest thing said was

I think for offensive skill positions like WR, RB, some college teams have guys

cougaman

NFL is so much faster.

Man, just think what Vandy would do to them today.

Doubling down… take a look at this roster and tell me how many NFL teams have
