could these NCAA teams beat NFL teams?
if you combined OSU, LSU, UGA, and USC could they beat a .500 NFL team? I know they're professionals, but these 4 teams alone will have numerous pro players join NFL over the next 4 years. what would be a predicted score if they played NE patriots?

No college team would beat any NFL team. PERIOD
College teams are made up of a couple ( if that ) pro players most who will not even last 1 year in the NFL. Each NFL team is made up of the best of the best from college.
It won't happen

There is no way and NCAA team could beat any NFL team, even if you made a super team. The speed of the NFL is so much faster which is why so many players have troubles transferring over. The NFL players are also larger and at some points 5 or more years older and they know the game so much better. If they played the Patriots im not sure they would even score.

The worst team in professional football is a collection of the best players in college for the past 5 to 10 years. Think about it, there are 32 NFL teams. There are over 110 Division 1 schools that contribute players to the NFL. And then you need to consider the learning curve that most players go through once they get to the NFL. You could have the NCAA All American team, and they would be hard pressed to beat the Dolphins.
The Patriots would beat them by 50, unless they felt slighted by having to play the game, and then they would run up the score to 100 to 3.

The last team that I thought would beat a sub par NFL team was the Miami Hurricanes of 2001. Look at the roster they played that year, and tell me where you hear their names now:
Offense:
Andre Johnson
Kellen Winslow
Willis McGahee
Clinton Portis
Kevin Everett
Jeremy Shockey
Najeh Davenport
Frank Gore
Defense:
DJ Williams
Antrel Rolle
Mike Rumph
Phillip Buchanon
Edward Reed
Sean Taylor
Jonathan Vilma
Jamal Green
Vince Wilfork
Jerome McDougle
Cornelius Green
Those all came from that year's team. Now look what they do on Sundays now. I think this team could hang with a sub par pro team.

The Pats would beat them by 60. It doesn't matter what colleges you combine, they will NEVER beat an NFL team. Over 300 of the best college football players in the nation will get an opportunity to play in the NFL this season and almost half of them will never make it on to an NFL roster.

Each NFL team has top college caliber players with more years of training and experience. Compared to the top college prospects the pro team will still win. Maybe if they played ten times the college team may win one or perhaps two games if the ball bounces in their favor for a few plays. If that game ever happens I sure would like to watch it and see how they match up. Would be interesting.

If you took the best players out of all the NCAA teams combined and played them against the lousiest team in the NFL i.e. Miami or, Atlanta you might have a close game they might even win most of them will be first rounders, however with the lack of NFL experience they would be at a disadvantage.

look at the roster of some NFL teams. some of their second and third stringers were big college players. even that, NFL players are INCREDIBLY FAST. lots of great college players (even guys like peyton manning) struggle as rookies because everyone is so much faster.
this difference in speed is part of why college teams can get away with lots of different offensive formations and what not (pistol offense, etc). players in the NFL are too fast/good for those things to work against them.

NE up 56-0 at the end of the first quarter.
any .500 pro team 56-0 at the end of the game,those college teams aren't built around a whole team full of 4.5 second 40 runners like the pros are.

Not a chance. NFL players are made up of experienced veterans who already dominated college. The score of such a game would depend if a mercy rule was put in place.
