JWC,GeauxLSU, I did read your question. I will admit that I disregarded the 10 games comment because there are so many variables to consider in a 10 game series. But, if it is not a 10 games series, but a one game winner take all event, played 10 times, I will still say LSU would not win one. Despite the number of great athletes that LSU has and factoring in the "problems other than talent" the Bengals have, LSU would still be out manned at most positions. I do have a question for you. Do you believe the best high school team in the country could beat the worst team in the SEC? I don't, and the jump in talent between the college level and the NFL is greater than the jump in talent between high school and college. Of course, hypothetical questions allow everyone to have their own opinions. I just don't believe LSU could beat the Bengals.
The best high school in the country couldn't beat the worst team in the SEC but I'm confident they could beat the worst team in division 1, one out of 10 times. I agree, a 10 game series and the college team would be the walking dead. The question, to me, represents whether or not they have a 10% chance of winning one game.
Having said that, I disagree that the gulf between college and NFL is greater than that of high school and college. You have 15 to maybe 18 year olds playing in high school Very few if any have reached their physical potential. Joe Burrow is 23 years old. The physical growth difference between high school and college is much bigger than college and the NFL. Most all college players are as tall as they are ever going to be when they get drafted. Yes they may put on some weight but some will lose.
Yep, all hypothetical.
