This is said about one college team or another every few years. I doubt it. One thing you can do is go back and look at some great college teams from the past. Many of those players on the "could beat an NFL team" who were superstars in college turned out to not be starters (or not very good) in the NFL.
Also, college teams tend to have strategies that exploit weaknesses that don't exist in the NFL. Steve Spurrier has talked about this and said he was wrong, that he can't pass in the NFL like he did in college because he has to leave more guys in for protection. What worked in college won't work in the pro's.
More and more teams are running pro-style offenses in college (notice no one runs option in the pro's anymore) but I still think the gap is too wide.
Remember the wishbone?
