On the flip side, NFL offenses have significantly more talent than college rosters. Should have some equaling out.

I addressed that in my followup. The best receivers/running backs/offensive linemen have been doing that for years and at the skill positions can often break open a game in college. In the NFL the caliber of athlete closes the windows that players have to hit the hole/make the throw/beat the defender in a 1 on 1.

Yes the best of the best is there in the NFL, but on offense in college, one Jamar Chase breaks a game open for LSU (notably facing Clemson's best DB in Terrell), one Daron Payne or CJ mosley does not. In college the matchups get significantly more tilted if the offense is able to seek them out than in the NFL. Obviously, DB 3,4, or 5 for the Titans is not as good as Tyreke Hill, but he is worlds better than any DB Hill faced in college.
