College schools in the NFL

    Alabama and OSU could yield a SB team. Surprised by Oregon's list, pretty legit. Anyone find the biggest LOLFAIL college team in the NFL list?

    The u is pretty impressive

    It's amazing that Alabama and Miami both don't have a QB in the league.

    I love looking at this just to see all the D2 and D3 guys in the league.

    "no college," and "notre dame" bring the lulz.

    Just off a quick glance at these, I would say the Hurricanes have the most impressive list(Andre Johnson, Jimmy Graham, Reggie Wayne, Frank Gore, Ed Reed, Vilma,etc...)

    Impressive. Just for S&G, without looking at the list, I'd gather that they would be ranked in the following order of actually fielding a team to win the SB:
    Tennesse
    Michigan
    Cal

    Haha not going to look at the other members from those schools but P Manning, Brady, and Rodgers definitely do help make them the leaders.

    I figured that Peyton and Arian in the backfield together would lead to a few wins.

    I just went and looked it up and I would take Cal. Their defense would be lacking but on offense they would have Rodgers, Lynch, DeSean Jackson, Keenan Allen, and Tony Gonzalez. Plus they would also have a decent Oline.

    The list is terrible outside of a few decent TEs and a safety who got burnt by the Browns WRs.

    NDs list is pretty bad right now, for a school like that. But Brian Kelly will be turning that around pretty quickly it appears. He has NFL talent on both sides of the ball and seems to be able to actually develop it.

    Nebraska's got a really solid crew too.
  • Azubuike24
    Tennessee isn't overall the best, but it's pretty decent to start with Peyton Manning, Jason Witten, Arian Foster, Eric Berry and Jerod Mayo who are all basically top 5 at their respective positions...

    For a program who hasn't really been nationally relevant in 15 years, it's not a bad list.

    They had a lot more players in the NFL than I expected. Maybe not NFL superstars but still good enough to be on a team.

    USC has a SB quality alumni base too

    north Carolina has always sent guys to the NFl and yet can never but a solid team together.

    Same was said about Weis and they are still are terrible.

    ND is what it is; a place for mediocrity.

    Georgia would be ridiculous. Stafford, Moreno and Green for skill weapons, lots of O-Line starters and guys like Atkins, Bailey, Geathers and Jarvis Jones would be pretty sick

    Weiss couldnt develop, most ND fans saw that. Kelly developed at Cinci and so far at ND. I know you won't admit it, but it's obvious he is the best coach they have had in over a decade.

    And what do they have to show for it?

    I don't think BK is a good coach. He's never won anything and bailed out on his teams before they hit the big stage. I'm actually SHOCKED he didn't up and leave before ND played Alabama because we all knew the result of that game before it even started. The guy isn't a winner so he fits ND perfectly. ND will never win a BCS bowl game or a National Title in my lifetime; I guarantee it.
