Not a ton of NFL talent there.  Everybody on the Lions was NFL caliber.  The Lions second string that year would have beaten the U.

Even if your frame of reference is since 2000, both 2005 National Title teams and both 2011 teams were probably superior at bare minimum, but oh well. The question is irrelevant either way.

Miami (FL) has fans?

[100% pro-life no matter what]

According to 538, the GOAT college team is the 2016 Alabama squad

I take the position that there are too many variables to ever know how one of these games should go.  Maybe we should try one between a good sport, but terrible, NFL team and a historically good college team.

Did u forget frank gore

I'm not sure if Nate Silver agrees with this, but I'd argue the worst NFL team in history was probably the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were 0-14, so they didn't have the same number of games to get as "officially" bad as the 2008 Lions, but their point differential at the end of the season was -287 compared to the Lions' -249, and I think they were one of the oldest teams in the NFL on average.

I just copied the list from the OP.  Even with 3 RBs, you'd still have a team lead by Ken Dorsey.  Ken Dorsey couldn't read NFL defenses even after trying to for a few years, even a bad one.  He would have been much worse back then.  And with zero time because Cory Redding would be half way up his ass the second he got set....yeah, 100 times out of a 100.  Never close.

a certain segment of american black males (and people that like their culture) loved them when I was a kid.  I'm sure some have stuck it out.

The 30 for 30 on them would explain it.  Like all 30 for 30s, it was great.
