I think LSU would lose something like 77-0.

Think of how In past years how bad Alabama dominated the line of scrimmage against us. It would be like that x100

Dude, There is no way LSU could keep it within 80. The Bengals would score TDs on every possession and LSU would lose yardage on almost every play.

If you made an Allstar team using the 4 teams in the playoff, and they played the Bengals at a neutral site, the CFB Team would lose 42-14
this I disagree with, as there used to be this game... and in the latter years they used the Super Bowl champ as the pro team, not the scrub pro team. Series was heavily in the Pros favor: 30-9-2. But most games were actually competitive

A team full of college junior/seniors who are pro ready can play with the pros. The ad hoc nature of the team would be the only thing holding them back.

As talent laden as the top tier teams are, no team in BCS has 53 pro ready/pro caliber players. At most, I'd guess a team might be in the 20s. It's a mismatch.

Like an FCS team playing top BCS team. They may have BCS and even pro level talent that fell under the radar or had grade issues or whatever. And that stud may be problems all day long, but the deeper/better team wins... usually BIGLY over 4 qtrs

It would be a massacre and LSU would agree to a running clock to start the 2nd half and probably throw in the towel in the 4tu quarter.

Agreed

You can have the all American college team play the worst team and the spread would be 30 and I’d still take the nfl team.

Those games were for charity and not taken seriously.

I'd bet between their competitive natures, pride and want for exposure (for the college kids) the games got pretty serious after the first series

game day rosters in the NFL are actually 45, not 53.

LSU has 85 scholarship athletes. We'd lose, but not 77-0.

Our skill guys running Brady’s scheme would not be that far off. But our entire D would get demolished and our Oline destroyed.

I don't know about "keep it close" because of market forces, the natural filtering of the NFL and just the whole prospect of sending 18 to 22 year old boys (particularly on the offensive and defensive lines) against experienced, professional, 25 to 30 year old men in the prime of their lives.

But, I bet our offense could score 21 on the Bengals.

YES. People like to laugh and say no way, but LSU and Bama and Ohio St are all loaded top to bottom with guys who will be in the NFL in a few months. Yes, a roster full of almost NFL players can hang with the shittiest NFL teams

Most people have no clue the size and strength difference in the trenches.
The worst NFL team will run the ball on the best NCAA team to >7ypc with 11 in the box.

Negative

Clemson had 3 defensive linemen drafted in the top 17 players of the draft and a 4th in the 4th round last year

You take that defensive line and put 11 in the box and no NFL team is going to run on them

Problem with the offense would be Burrow facing absolutely nuts pressure Our line would look like swiss cheese.
