Where would the Cleveland Browns be ranked in the NCAA top 25?

How many losses would the have in the NCAA?

Zero.

SEC football fans are blithering idiots. Fact

I would bet my life the game would be 50 - 0 if the Browns played their best players the whole game and put the pedal down.

That's generous. I think it'd be 50-0 by the end of the 3d quarter, and maybe earlier.

On top of the problems already mentioned, the spread offense means the offensive linemen don't learn many of the techniques needed to play against NFL defenses. Those poor bast*rds would get destroyed. As someone said above, "first contact" with the QB and RB would consistently be behind the line of scrimmage.

The best part would be listening to the fans of the other top college teams bragging about how their team would have won.

Yeah, right.

If the schedule could be altered I believe Cleveland should beat Jacksonville and Frisco .

The Browns can't be most teams in the sec. At least 3 of them.LSU, Bama and Florida.

What we know for sure is that the average Browns starter is about 25 pounds heavier and 0.2 seconds faster over 40 yards.

What we can assume is that half the Tide would be in the concussion protocol (anyone under 200 pounds or 20 years old) and that Robert Griffin could play a whole game without getting hurt for the first time in his NFL career.

The browns have gifted athletes (they are still in the NFL), but their coaches/team culture are horrible. I'd say in their current state if they played all of the top 25 schools they'd lose at least 10 games.

Browns are not a real NFL team.

They have more than 50 NFL players.

Best in the NCAA has maybe 8 at most.

It would be a slaughter.

The only one in here with sense.

Wake up people! You all act like 6 year olds. Do you have any knowledge of how many NFL players are on Alabama's current team?

Maybe 6, maybe.

So, with this logic, you think a team with possibly 6 NFL caliber players, they could beat a team with 45 NFL players?

There is a reason why so many Heisman winners and great college players never make it in the NFL. It's simple. I'll say it slow for you. When Archie Griffin lined up in the backfield, he faced 3 or 4 potential NFL players per game. In the NFL, he faced........11!!! Every single play.

got it?

Need more evidence?

Here are great players in the NCAA

Tell me what their respective NFL careers were like.

Tim Tebow

Archie Griffin

RG3

Chris Weinke

Matt White

Gino Toretta

Charlie Ward

Danny Wurffle

I'm as big an SEC fanboy as you're going to meet, and I have no problems saying that the Browns would slaughter every SEC - and NCAA - team, as bad as they are.

If Vegas is only giving the Browns a 20-odd point edge on 'bama they're out to lunch, though obviously it doesn't matter since the game is never going to happen.

As others have already pointed out, the offensive and defensive lines of the Browns would completely and utterly dominate the game. No college team would have a prayer.

Lsu would kill the Browns.

They would easily be first. People don't realize how good bad professional teams and athletes are. It would be similar to taking a 1:46 guy and thinking he stinks because he got whipped by 1:41 and 1:42 guys. Plus, in football it's more than just speed. You have strength, power, size and all those other elements in which the men will beat the boys.

This. Only the very best collegians are able to contend with a consistent 1:45-:46 guy. But against the best in the world on a fast day, he is back of the pack. God forbid he have an off day: he'd look like he was race walking against Rudisha. Half the rsces even the best college kids run are so sub-par they would be an embarassment in Diamond League. But because it's NCAA nobody notices how poor they so often perform. The same difference would prevail between the Browns and Alabama or Ohio St.

Assuming Alabama has 5 or 6 potential pros, you have to remember that they aren't pros RIGHT NOW. Instead they would be rookies. Normally it takes a few years for Rookies to find their way in the NFL and a very small proportion of those have what would be called successful careers.

Bottom line. Any NFL team vs SEC team would be a comedic beatdown. And those that think otherwise are SEC rednecks or trolls.

I forgot to mention that Alabama has 10x better coaching which would make up for Cleveland having bigger/stronger/whatever players. Cleveland has awful coaching and that makes a difference. I think Alabama has a slightly worse team with way better coaching.

Really? How did Saban do in the pros?

Exactly. Saban's a decent coach but a great recruiter. Most college games are decided before the season starts. Saban only has to coach well 3 or 4 times a year because that is how often Bama is actually in a game with a team with comparable talent. Every week this is the case in the NFL. The Harbaughs, Norv Turner, Jeff Fisher, Mike Toin, Bruce Arians, Jack Del Rio, Mike McCarthy, whoever is coaching the Eagles even, these guys and many others are better coaches than Saban if you eliminate his absurd talent advantage.

truth but you can't handle it wrote:

The Browns are TERRIBLE. It isn't just their players have all been complete busts, the COACHING AND GAME DAY DECISIONS THEY MAKE ARE THE LAUGHING STOCKS OF THE NFL.

Head Coach Hue Jackson has the IQ of a gnat, but since he is black, they are going to keep him for a while.

Lol. The racism here is obvious. Hue Jackson has ALREADY proven to be at least as good a pro coach as Saban has proven himself to be. Jackson has also PROVEN to be a very good NFL offensive coordinator, WR, RB and QB coach. There's not a team in the NFL that would want Saban as their offensive coordinator, let alone ine that would hire him to coach each of the skill positions.

HUE JACKSON IS A STUPID APE

It seems like some of this argument redounds to simple racism. Ask Carson Palmer (Heisman winner, NFL MVP candidate) and Joe Flacco (Super Bowl champion) how stupid Hue was when he developed them from the ground up.
