Alabama vs. NFL?

Alabama, gosh, they look like they could beat a couple of those NFL teams that I’ve watched on Sundays,” Spurrier said Wednesday on “The Dan Patrick Show.” Spurrier, who played and coached in the NFL, knows that no college team, not even one a seemingly dominant as Alabama, could beat even the worst NFL team.

Alabama would have no, nada, zippo chance of beating Jacksonville (1-6), Kansas City (1-7), Carolina (1-6) or any other team currently cellar-dwelling in the NFL.

But the worst NFL team against the best from college football would be a total mismatch.

The nature of human growth alone makes it virtually impossible for one college team to amass enough 18- to 21-year-olds who are big enough, strong enough and fast enough to compete physically against an NFL team.

Every NFL team has 53 players who already beat the incredible odds it takes to make any NFL roster.

“Alabama’s got a great team, but when you match up interior lines against regular NFL teams on either side of the ball, it wouldn’t be close.” The 2012 BCS champion Alabama team had four players selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft, including running back Trent Richardson, the third pick overall.

I don’t doubt that the current Alabama team has two or three players who could step onto a NFL roster tomorrow and make an impact.
