Normal rules. Not the goofy rules they play up norf.
Well that changes everything then.Put in on the CFL field with their big ball and their rules and the college teams will lose.
But that's not really football though is it?
They are entirely different games though. Larger field, large ball, more downs, extra player on the field, WR moving before the snap......The rules play a large part in who holds the advantage.
And I still think even with the CFL rules it would be close. Nobody could guard Bush or Young in the CFL.
CFL is not real football? Please define what real football is.Two different games, but a CFL team is build on defense and is a passing game more than NFL ball. It would not happen - so why discuss it?

Thus the word "best" in my poll question.
College/NFL rules is football.Arena and CFL are variations of the true game but field goals from your own end zone and running forward before the ball is hiked and 20 yard endzones are derived to garner interest due to the inferior talent on the field.CFL is not real football?

You might want to check your facts. IIRC, the Canadian version of the game has been played about as long as the American version. In fact, some of our Canadian friends can correct me on this, but wasn't last season the 75th Grey Cup?College/NFL rules is football.Arena and CFL are variations of the true game but field goals from your own end zone and running forward before the ball is hiked and 20 yard endzones are derived to garner interest due to the inferior talent on the field.CFL is not real football?

Who says it won't happen?
Actually CFL players are NFL rejects.The majority of these USC and Texas will be NFL players.
Could every player on a BCS team make the NFL or CFL? No.
Who invented the game?
I agree, but the CFL chooses players and has players excel who are groomed for the CFL game. If a CFL has to choose between a lighter, more agile O-lineman or a beast....they are taking the agile player, whereas an NFL team would choose the beast
The 93rd Grey Cup game was held on November 27, 2005 at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia between the Edmonton Eskimos and the Montreal AlouettesAnd when we field punts or kickoffs...WE RUN THEM....we do not wave at the clouds and ask for a chance not to get tackled...You might want to check your facts.

CFL is the minor leagues? Actually that is NFLE.CFL is for people who do not have the talent to play in the NFL. I doubt less than 1% of the CFL players ever sniff the NFL.
Actually the NFL would take either if they had talent.It is only the no talent agile players that the CFL gets.
I am talking about starters obviously. Please keep up to not hold back the discussion.
Thats up for debate.
I would disagree with this. Teams send players to NFLE exactly because they are not good enough to keep in their off season training programs and the teams are hoping the playing experience will cause a few of them to translate their talent successfully to the NFL.The CFL is much, much closer to NFLE than NFLE is to the NFL. And that still doesn't make the case that elite college teams could compete with CFL teams, since the talent gap, age/physical maturity/mental maturity, and experience is so wide between NFL teams and college teams.
USC had 11 players drafted this year alone:Your assumption, of course is that drafted = plays in NFL, which is obviously false. I'd love to revisit this in 5 years to see how badly you are overestimating the capabilities of the players on these teams.
Reggie Bush – RB – 1st round – 2nd overall to New OrleansMatt Leinart – QB – 1st round – 10th overall to ArizonaWinston Justice – OT – 2nd round – 39th overall to PhiladelphiaDeuce Lutui – OG – 2nd round-41st overall to ArizonaLenDale White – RB – 2nd round – 45th overall to TennesseeFrostee Rucker – DE – 3rd round – 91st overall to CincinnatiDominique Byrd – TE – 3rd round – 93rd overall to St. LouisDarnell Bing – S – 4th round – 101st overall to OaklandDavid Kirtman – FB – 5th round – 163rd overall to SeattleLaJuan Ramsey – DT – 6th round – 204th overall to PhiladelphiaFred Matua – OG – 7th round – 217th overall to Detroit Texas had 6:
Player Rnd/Pk Team Vince Young 1/3 Titans Michael Huff 1/7 Raiders Cedric Griffin 2/48 Vikings David Thomas 3/86 Patriots Jonathan Scott 5/141 Lions Rod Wright 7/226 Dolphins They could easily hit 50 players drafted over 5 years.
Thank you for the sanity.
I know not all will play at an NFL level. However I don't need them to. I just need them to beat a CFL team.
Why wait when you have a very applicable University of Mia team from 5 years ago that fits this bill very well?I'm sorry, but yes. I'll take that Mia team vs any CFL team easily.I know not all will play at an NFL level. However I don't need them to. I just need them to beat a CFL team.
So if you play this game in 2001 then players like Winslow and Vilma are 19/20 year old sophmores and will dominate against professionals??? You can't take a handful of star athletes from a college team and say there superior skills will carry a college team where the other 2/3s are merely student/athletes (with no dreams of becoming professionals) and expect them to beat a team of selected professional players.Why wait when you have a very applicable University of Mia team from 4 years ago that fits this bill very well?I'm sorry, but yes. I'll take that Mia team vs any CFL team easily.I know not all will play at an NFL level. However I don't need them to. I just need them to beat a CFL team.
Here are the guys drafted from the 2001 Mia team give or take:
You do realize that even if you make that assumption, there are still roughly 8 star players that were drafted in 2001 and 2002, players that the CFL couldn't even wet dream of having. This doesn't even factor that the other guys drafted more than likey are still capable football players either in the CFL or AFL or NFLE. Just I did not bold them cuz they were not STARS or good at the NFL level. This was a DEEP and Talented Mia team. One that has star power and ability that the CFL team can't even dream of matching. This team had roughly 40, thats FORTY, players the NFL deamed talented enough to be drafted. That is an entire roster alone in the CFL.I can understand the arguement that the CFL players are more mature and developed. I just don't see how those CFL teams can recover from the talent gap between some of the guys on this list and their own players. I mean we are talking about at least 5 Pro Bowl players drafted in just 2001 and 2002.
Having gone to a DIII school and seen our football team play, I will guarantee that a team like LaSalle or Mater Dei would crush us.Granted we weren't good and typically had a losing record but I think the elite high schools of the country could beat most "average" DIII teams.
