Just following the rules but you can have Texas's 12th best QB.

Basically California would win and it wouldn't be very close. Sorry Texas.


Closest probably but you realize the Texas offense alone is enough to win. You could take the '13 Aggie defense they'd still beat Cali.

No it isn't. Cali has 4 all-pros in the secondary and two tackling machines at linebacker.

Leonard Pope is the only active TE I could find from Georgia. I could be wrong.

And Texas has arguable the 2 best RBs, a top 3 QB (one of the elite 4 for sure), the best WR last year (lead in yards after missing 2 games and no QB), a top 5 QB in Dez, and Crabtree who would be the #2 WR for the Cali team. With the game the way it is now, great offenses beat great defenses. You can point to the Seahawks all you want, but thats the exception, not the rule.

Except the Seahawks success was predicated by Richard Sherman and two elite safeties. The Cali team would have Richard Sherman, a better safety duo than Seattle, and Verner on the other side of the field. Then there is Burfict and Alonso tackling everything that moves. No fly zone.

The Ravens and Giants were also offensive powerhouses (says sarcastically)

It would take awhile to do this for Texas but the offensive talent would be absurd. Just picking a backup QB to Brees would be tough.

Brees at QB

Peterson at RB

Dez Bryant and Josh Gordon at WR

People are ignoring Georgia but that's a damn good team you have

Also, Auburn should official annex itself to West Georgia. It just makes more sense

The Ravens won with defense 14 years ago.

The '13 Ravens scored 31 points a game in the playoffs vs some of the best defenses. Joe completed 58% of his passes, had a 11-0 TD to INT ratio, and a 117 rating.

The '12 Giants scored 26 points a game in the playoffs vs some of the best defenses. Eli completed 65% of his passes, had a 9-1 TD to INT ratio, and 103 rating.

If those are not powerhouse offense for 4 game stretches then I don't know what is.

Mississippi is decent QB situation sucks. Prolly should have went with Austin Davis.

Mississippi
QB: Jason Campbell (Taylorsville)
RB: Stevan Ridley (Trinity)
RB: Anthony Dixon (Terry)/ Vick Ballard (Pascagula)
WR: Pat Patterson (Noxubee)
WR: Tobias Singleton (Madison Central)
(I know there is a lot of other guys in the NFL but none with the raw talent of these two, so, if they could control themselves, I pick them)
WR: Kevin Norwood (Diablerville)
TE: Marcus Greene (Kemper)
OT: Derrek Sharrod ( Caledonia)
OT: Derek Newton (Hinds AHS)
OG: John Jerry ( South Panola)
OG: Anthony Steen (Lee Academy)
C: Chris Spencer ( Madison Central)

DE: Fletcher Cox (Yazoo City)
DE: Chris Jones (Houston)
DT: Josh Boyd (Philadelphia)
DT: Antonio Johnson (Leland)
ILB: KJ Wright (Olive Branch)
ILB: Damarion Savis (Brandon)
OLB: Quinton Groves (Greenville Weston)
OLB: CJ Johnson (Philadelphia) Probably someone more deserving.
SS: Glover Quinn (North Pike)
FS: Antonio Conner (South Panola) also the guy who plays for the Vikings, also from SP but I'm going with youth.
CB: Trmaine Brock (long Beach)
CB: Jonathan Banks (East Webster)

K: Stephen Gostkowski ( Madison Central)
