1. How many players on Bama's team are likely to be NFL starters
1a. on defense
1b. on offense


We don't know any of this by watching them against college teams. The transition to the league is night and day.

Everyone was going to be a star on the 2004 USC team...and nope...most of the great college D-line weren't stars or even starters and the receivers and skill players.

You never know how people translate to the Pros.

What do you mean you never know? Look to teams from the past 10 years or so. You think there haven't been CFB defenses that had 11+ NFL starters on their 2-deep roster?

Hint: there have been plenty.
