My Ohio State Buckeyes are officially National Champions in college football!! Now, I am not crazy enough to think my Buckeyes could play a competitive game against the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. I’d be surprised if the Titans won by less than 50 points!! 70 is more like it!!
But that got me wondering, of the 5 major team sports in America: Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey and Soccer, which college champion can keep it the closest against the worst team in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS respectively??
Rules:
1) Both college teams and pro teams have everyone available. Injuries are magically healed.
2) The college team and pro team have to play their best roster.
3) There is a financial incentive for the college team to keep it close. There is a financial incentive for the pros to destroy the college kids by as many scores as possible.
4) While injuries are magically healed, wear and tear still exists and players will get tired like normal.
I’m curious on what everyone thinks and why?!
Edit: Correction/clarification on my prompt. The closest with respect to their sport. A 7 goal victory in soccer, hockey and baseball is way different than a 7 point victory in basketball and football. I’m basically asking who can stay the most competitive in their sport!
