Don't think so - the quality of arms we would face (even against the Marlins) would be too different. Not to mention how the college hitters would look using wooden bats against those arms.

Out of the big 3 sports, basketball has the best shot - well maybe not an SEC college all star team, but some other conference

In 2011 the U of Miami beat the Marlins.

In football, a SEC all-star team could maybe squeek out a victory. If we didn't suck so bad in basketball, I would say we could beat a BAD NBA team. A Big East or ACC all star team I could see.

Are you drunk? An NFL team would annihilate a college all-star team. Same for basketball.
