Zero chance - a modern NFL team could name the score against the best CFB team. It would be akin to the best HS team playing Alabama.
How realistic is it that a College team could beat an NFL team?

NFL Players are bigger, stronger & just as fast college players or faster in actuality..The most important trait that only comes playing at an even higher level of play in the NFL, is they become "Wiser" in technique & with their of play in the NFL, if that maturation level is applied on a football field against, against a college football team..The young college "Whipper Snappers" wouldn't stand a chance in hell..
True. Absolutely true. But some do offer a bit of amusement with their "what if?" scenarios.
No. Just....... No chance. Ever.
Indeed, 1934-1976, in fact. The last time college guys won was 1963, beating Vince Lombardi's Packers 20-17. Remember watching that one on the telly.
Yah, think about how many players that were stars at Bama have been mediocre in the NFL.
The difference between college football kids and professional grown men playing football is a big difference in terms of skill set, mental maturity, and even strength due to their training in the NFL.
As good as we are, NFL teams are at a different level.

Re: How realistic is it that a could College team could beat an NFL team?
You know what I've always loved about that quote? It was January, 1967...right after the 1966 season...he didn't say, "I don't know, we haven't played Notre Dame yet," or, " I don't know, we haven't played Michigan State yet." Coach Lombardi knew what was what...
Yup..I was actually talking with a buddy of mine about this the other day..Coach Saban has built & designed "The Process" to specifically get the absolute best play humanly possible when they come to play for us at Alabama..If a Player does what's asked of him, bid their time for PT, we will see just how good they are as a Player while they at Alabama..
"The Process" produces results & Championship like no other entity has ever done in college football history..It's a definite great recruiting tool when Coach Saban has recruits talking about those results & what "The Process" can do for the NFL dreams if they come to Bama & live it..
What Coach Saban has done at Bama is remarkable, "The Process" brings stability & structure, to our Player's lives while wearing the Crimson Jersey..I imagine it's a really really big adjustment for our Player's when they leave Bama, to go from the structure of stability "The Process" has given while at Bama, to applying what they've learned at Bama to the rest of their life after "The Process"..
A great deal of words come to mind but realistic is not one of them. Even a team full of can't miss NFL prospects would get hammered
An all star team with practice could give a decent game. The best FBS would not be able to withstand in the trenches, for obvious reasons. 50-3.
This comes up so often, and while it is a compliment it is just not even realistic enough to even make a half way decent comparison.
ESPN played around with spurrier' statement that we could hang with the worst NFL teams either in 2011 or 2012, and they got a west gate guy to make a line for a neutral site matchup between the jags and Bama and he had the jags at like -18.5. That is a blowout pick. Then they had him do a game at bds against the jags and he had them at -17.5. Then they had him do the New England Patriots and he placed the pats at -44.5. I know lines are have no impact on the game, but I can't even remember mike Shula or dubose being a 18 point home dog.
So the answer is no no no, we have no chance against any pro team whether they be the Browns or the patriots. We probably lose by 2-3 tds at a minimum, and no that is not me being pessimistic that is me being realistic.

I get your point but it's just one of those few opportunities that I get on you Selma. What is like Selma 2333555 and me 2
We struggle with good SEC teams, and we're arguably the best team in college football. We'd be completely destroyed by an NFL team...even the Browns.
If you took an Alabama all-star team over Saban's tenure, we could compete.
