If they included Mike Williams I would have to go with SC. They definitely have better running backs, the QB can't be any worse than these jokers in Miami, and the O-line probably has 3 or 4 future NFL starters.
every time we get into a discussion about who would win a game between the best team in CFB and the worst team in the NFL - the answer is a VERY simple one - the NFL team would win by at least 30.
what usc does is impressive - and living in the so cal area - i get to see a lot of their games. but there is an ENORMOUS difference between playing against some undersized safety/lineman/etc. in college - and going against ray lewis or champ bailey or trying to defend jamal lewis.
if you think the miami offense is bad (and it is) - it would look like the colts' offense compared to what usc would do in the nfl. i'd be shocked if usc score 10 points in any game - and if they got shut out - it wouldn't shock me at all.
While I agree with Winky here, I dont agree with your numbers. I wouldnt make the Dolphins favorites by more than about 14 points against a top 5 team in teh nation.
The Dolphins cant even beat their own wives, much less an NFL team! Same goes for San Francisco. Not most every other team, I like your 30-35 point number
You guys only have to pick an offense here, this isn't Miami against SC on both sides of the ball. I think at least 6 guys on SC will be starting in the NFL eventually, 7 if you add in Williams. Some of these Dolphins don't deserve NFL jobs, guys like Gordon or Fiedler/Feeley. I think the differential between the two teams, offensive side of the ball only, is a lot closer than you think.
Hoops or any sport would not even be close in an actual game...name one hoops team that could come close in the NBA? If anything college teams have gotten much weaker the past 10 years.
How About The Great Duke Team Of 1992 ((hurley, Hill, Laettner, Davis, Lang)) Or The Great Unlv Team Of 1991 ((hunt, Augmon, Johnson, Anderson, Ackles)) Or The Very Good Lsu Team Of 1990 ((oneal, Jackson, Scott)) Versus Any Clippers Team?
I Think In Hoops A Great College Team Could Surprise A Horrible Nba Team. Not Very Likely But It Could Happen. Team Chemistry Is Very Very Important In Hoops.
Seeing how so many of the best players don't go to college it would be hard to see them beating even a second squad for a bad NBA team. I would never argue any college team would beat a pro team, but one side of the ball could produce at least as much as this Dolphins squad has. If you truly wanted to find the one sport a college team has an outside chance at, look at baseball. A top team with their top starter going could beat on occasion a pro team.
