Totally asinine comment. Where do people come up with this stuff?

You're speaking on two different strata when relating pro football to college football. There was a time, before about 1976 whereby there was an annual game, played on Chicago's Soldier Field, between the previous year's Super Bowl champion and the college All-stars from the same year, the very best colleges had to offer. As you might expect, the professionals always won that game, often in blowout fashion.

As for the best football team from 1985, they would probably struggle in they were in top form vs today's football players, simply because the athletes of our time are simply bigger, faster and stronger.
