A college baseball team, using wooden bats, against a major league pitcher? They would make minimal good contact. Major league hitters would decapitate 99.999% of college pitchers. It would be a blood bath.
A college basketball team would be SUFFOCATED on offense. They would score 40 points. They would either not have enough shooters or not have shooters who are strong and quick enough to get shots off.
A college football team would get pushed around and abused.
A team full of 20 year olds, some of them soon to be professionals, vs a team full of 23-33 year old actual professionals...............

Hell, the SEC and the ACC are the best conferences in college baseball and with the new bats offense almost doesn't exist.
Now imagine trading those for wood, and trading #2 starters from South Carolina for Julio Teheran or Rich Hill.

To answer OP, making it a series kinda makes the whole thing unrealistic.
If you're talking about a 1 game scenario I can MAAAAAYYYYBEEE see basketball. But that'd be about it. But even then only in a 1 off, no way in a series.

The best college teams wouldn't compete in Single A. Hell, the Cape league is filled with the top end college players and I'd bet they would struggle to even compete.

University of Tampa defeats the Philadelphia Phillies
I've never even heard of the university of Tampa and you're arguing that the LSU's and Florida's of the world couldn't win a series in A ball
Because that's how baseball goes sometimes, you dense bastard

Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz and other Phillies veterans never touched the field, but the youngest player on the field for the Phils (Odubel Herrera, who was born Dec. 29, 1991) was older than every player on the Spartans. They also have years of professional experience in the Minor Leagues.
In a twist, the Spartans took the lead in the seventh inning with a big assist from Andrew Amaro, the nephew of Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. The Spartans first baseman worked a bases-loaded, two-out, nine-pitch walk against right-hander Nefi Ogando to score the tying run.

Yet again you're talking about one game when the OP clearly stated baseball would be a series. Not only that, you're using an exhibition BEFORE their spring training even started.
And you're calling someone else dense

It's collegiate players at a bad baseball school against professional baseball players. I think that's fair evidence that a division 1 powerhouse could win a series in A ball

Evidence? Good lord it's barely even a coherent argument.

So a division 2 school beats the fricking phillies and it's not a coherent argument. Damn son

I say it depends on where you draw the line at "professional"
If we are talking about the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc...No way, not happening.
If you want to bring in lower tier, but still "professional" teams, you might be able to make an argument. Lower tier minor league baseball teams are for sure vulnerable against elite college talent. Some NBA-D league teams...and some of the off-shoot football leagues as well.

'94-'99. 2 years with the Greenjackets, 3 with the Mudcats and my last year was when the AA team moved to Altoona.

That was for baseball, not football. I wasn't suggesting a "best of" anything in regards to football.

My stance is that if a division two school is capable of beating a team full of professionals 6-2, I don't think it's far fetched to think an upper echelon division 1 team could win a weekend series against a low A squad, that's likely littered with players that are younger and have less experience than said elite D1 squad for the record. Again, there are guys playing low A ball that wouldn't even get recruited to LSU, much less get a scholarship. Don't be so blinded by the "professional" label. Most of those guys could make more money cutting grass

Jesus Christ. This may be your dumbest statement yet.
Let's break it down:
Even elite college teams don't come close to having three starters that would make the starting rotation in A ball. In fact, most of them only have one. Advantage: A Ball team by a wide margin
The elite colleges have bullpens which feature 2-3 guys who will be drafted at all. Advantage - A ball by the widest margin of all.
99.9% of closers in college become middle relief, if they're drafted at all. Advantage - A ball by a slight margin.
Pitching wins 9 of 10, easily. I'm not sure how much simpler I can make it for you than that.

There's too much stupid to even argue any further here. I doubt LSU has a scholarship pitcher on the roster that wasn't drafted out of high school
