1. I voted for the Redskins

:evilgrin:

19. Wait till the skins play the cowboys

Lavar is going to rip the boys apart. I saw that Falcons game, the cowboys can't function as a team and look absolutely pathetic.

2. No college team can beat an NFL team

The Bengals have a third string heisman trophy winning quarterback and 25 former all americans on that team, the same could be said about the other teams on the list. The skill level clearly does not match up and no college team has a pray against an NFL team.

Edit:why did you maky the Browns an option? They went to the playoffs last year, the Redskins? They have a solid team.

21. Yeah, the premise is a fun one

But, having covered the Lions and some (not much) college football, I'm confident in saying that any NFL squad would whip the best college team quite easily.
Lord, until you get down on the sidelines and watch these pros smack each other around, you have no idea how fast and violent the game really is. It doesn't translate well either onto TV or into the stands. The NFL has a rule requiring sportswriters to stay at least ten yards from the sideline because if a play comes out of bounds, you'd never get out of the way fast enough (see the movie "The Fortune Cookie").
I'd say this: However much money a year these guys get paid, they earn every penny of it.

22. Agree!

No college team can beat an NFL team. No college team can TIE an NFL team. No college team should even be on the same field at the same time unless they're getting autographs.

3. Actually...

UNDERPANTS--I think any of those EXCEPT Texas (sorry, Lone Star State DUers; we still like ya!) could bet ANY of the NFL teams you picked out...and probably whup up on 'em, too! :eyes:

I've got this feeling you might be able to add Florida State to that mix pretty soon, too--and, (tragically enough), on the other end, the Carolina Panthers.

5. You have got to be out of your mind

Miami will probaly at most have 10 all Americans, well the Bengals have 25 former all americans and a third string heisman trophy winner. Any of those teams would get killed by any of the teams mentioned above, you have got to be out of your mind to think otherwise.

[SonofMass]

7. Well, there are possibly some players for the Buckeyes

who could do the laundry for the Bengals.

4. I voted for the Brownies

just because I'm a Steeler fan and it's fun to pick on the Browns. :evilgrin:

[bmbmd]

8. Years ago, there was an"All-Star Game"

In which an NFL team took on a bunch of college superstars. The game died a sudden death after several years of embarrassing defeats for the collegians. Never got close.....

So, my answer is "Never. Not gonna happen."

[underpants]

14. I remember that

I think the Steelers in the 70's were the last to play in that game.

No I know they couldn't beat them I'm just making a comment on those sorry ass teams. I didn't se any of the Browns game but a final of 9-6 when they are supposed to have two of the worst defenses in the league (at least Cleveland's is not known yet).

The Cowboys were just flat out horrible yesterday.


The skins actually played very well and that was a well played game last Thursday.

9. Arizona Cardinals

They're just as bad as the Bengals, only minus the man: Corey Dillon.

[VermontDem2004]

11. The Bengals don't have

Super Bowl MVP Dexter Jackson, they also don't have Duane Starks which has been a solid corner for the Ravens, they also don't have Adrian Wilson which proved to be a so SS last year. No collegiate team has a chance against a pro team, sorry.

[Braden]

10. better question is

which of these top five college teams players drive better cars than your average Bengal?

Miami
OSU
USC (tie)
Texas (tie)
Oklahoma

12. THE BROWNS?

The Browns are much more talented that some college team. Totally underrated...

GO BROWNS!

[goobergunch]

13. On any given Sunday, any given team...

can beat the Cincinnati Bengals.

[VermontDem2004]

15. People just don't understand the

talent level difference between the pros and college. The Broncos only beat the Bengals 30-10 if a college team even has a chance to beat the bengals, the Broncos would of by 70+ points. The Bengals have about 25 former all americans and a 3rd string heisman winning QB, and Miami will have at a maximum 8 or 9 all americans. A college team would get killed when faced off against a pro team.

[GumboYaYa]

16. Exactly.

Most really, really good college teams have ten to fifteen players that get drafted. Many of those do not survive in the pros. Those that do survive usually have to pick up their game from college to make it.

The talent levels are not even close in the two leagues. To even consider a college team beating a pro team is just ludicrous, albeit fun sometimes.

17. Doe sthat include Mount Union?

:bounce:

[Blue_Chill]

18. Not a single one.

In fact if they played eachother the score would be something like 70-0 NFL over College. Even the Bengals are loaded with players who in college were better then their peers.

The college QB would be hurt in the first quarter and te offensive line men would be on their backs 90% of the time.

[VermontDem2004]

20. That would definately be the case

The college QB would be hurt in the first quarter and te offensive line men would be on their backs 90% of the time.

23. Da Bears

Did you see them on Sunday?

They lost 49-7!

To a 49er team that really isn't that good!

[Hubert Flottz]

24. The Bengals are quietly building a hell of a team!

They need to play the new QB ASAP! That kid is awsome! The new Kenny Anderson!

[Zech Marquis]

25. You might want to add the Chicago Bears

man they looked godawful against the 49ers! :evilgrin: And maybe the ravens too, they're rebuildin big time. USC would smack down the Bengals like they did Auburn :evilgrin:

[jus_the_facts]

26. Weeeeeeell.......my Saints looked quite shitty yesterday......

....but I'd prolly bet they'd kick any of the Top 5's asses any given Sunday! :D

[joeybee12]

27. Voted for Cinncinnati, but doubt any of those five could beat them

Seriously, the Bengals stink, but there's a huge difference between college and the NFL. You just didn't give an option for "none."
