re: Could the best college football team beat a UFL team?

I was just using 2011 LSU-Bama as an example of how many NFL players are on the elite college football teams.
Per a UFL press release from September 2024:
Twenty players from the UFL’s 2024 season are currently active in the NFL. Michigan Panthers kicker Jake Bates (Detroit Lions) and Arlington Renegades defensive tackle Jalen Redmond (Minnesota Vikings) both solidified a spot on a 53-man roster when the NFL season began. 15 others are signed to NFL team practice squads, and three are on injured reserve.
After a successful inaugural season, over 250 of the 400 players (sixty percent) who appeared in games for the UFL were called to the NFL for workouts, with 78 individuals signing contracts to attend 30 NFL team training camps. Overall, the UFL saw 87 total contracts signed, which included eight players signing twice with the same team and one player signing three times with different teams.

They may not be nfl caliber but they are still grown men playing football professionally who were all good in college.
People say this as if guys hit a massive growth spurt at 23. Some of y’all act like guys run a 4.4 at the combine then somehow start running a 3.4 after a year in the league. Most elite athletes are athletically near their peak by 20 or 21, and then develop greater skill as professionals. Oftentimes the biggest line by size in all of football is at the college level.
There were 5 rookie pro bowlers including a QB last year. I don’t think the UFL has produced a single one outside of special teams.
I think the best college teams would run the table in the UFL.
Do you really think Luis Perez is a better QB than Jayden Daniels was at LSU? Jontre Kirlin is a better wideout now than Jamar Chase was at LSU? If age is so important, why doesn’t BYU win the national title all the time?

It’s a myth that all professional football players are really good. I’ll even include NFL players in that group. A lot of them suck. There is a big difference between the haves and the have nots and the difference is even further exaggerated in the modern game.

Hopefully the players on a top caliber college team could win becuse they are getting paid more than the UFL guys.

Only a “few players” LOL. Do you realize how large a college team roster is?
