Yes they have,in fact the early '70s was the last of that. Used to be Super Bowl winners played colleges best.  Its been so long I just can't remember the details or facts,but it has happened.

Have you ever seen some of the women that actually play full contact football? Looks like a team of high school lunch ladies!

No, in fact there are a couple of players in the NFL that did not play in high school.  Even still, they do play other sports in high school and are raw athlete material.

Well actually you need more than 1 person to play football. \n\nBut Rutgers University and its neighbor, Princeton, played the first game of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the present-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won that first game, 6-4.\n\nThe game, which bore little resemblance to its modern-day counterpart, was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination, and physical prowess,” to use the words of one of the Rutgers players. \n\nInterestingly enough, Rutgers has only won 18 games in its history since that game ...\n\nhttp://www.scarletknights.com/football/history/first_game.htm

I think it was because they weren't what you would call NFL ready...  We all know those guys were very good college players, but they just didn't have NFL type talent...  They mostly succeeded based on K-States system...  not just off pure talent like Terrence Newmen or Darren Sproles...

There are many outstanding Australian Rules Football players, that narrowing down a list is difficult.  Many players from different eras come to mind and it would interesting to see who would be part of an All Star team.\n\nPlayers of yesteryear such as Bob Skilton, Ted Whitten, Jack Dempsey, Lou Richards, Kevin Barlett, Gary Ablett, Malcolm Blight and Francis Bourke come to mind.\n\nFor more modern players who have to look at people like Dermott Brereton, Wayne Carey (ignore the crap in his personal life), James Hird, Michael Voss and Tony Lockett.

University of Michigan Football \nAll- American, 1949, 1950\nTeam Captain, 1950\n\nRobert Allen Wahl was named All-American tackle in 1949 by Grantland Rice and repeated in 1950. He played in the 1951 All-Star Game. Six-feet, three-inches tall, he weighed a lean 225 pounds. A former Army boxing champion, he was extremely quick and strong for a big man. He played as a 17-year old under wartime rules but injuries handicapped him. A year of Army service in Germany, during which he won a service boxing title with 14 knockouts, developed him physically. Wahl later became president of his own company dealing with farm equipment.

Unfortunately, No.  Too many of our colleges are football factories.  They turn out pro players with nothing to fall back on.  Maurice Clarett is a real good example.  He came out early, was no were near a degree and now he sits in prison on gun and drug charges.  Every year you see players drafted, they don't make the team and end up working at Subway.  Very sad, but true.

NFL teams haven't played college teams in any exhibition games in way over 35 years.As a matter of fact, before the Pro Bowl, it was a NFL team vs a college team for many years.But as for Pitt vs OK, I have never heard of that happening.

What are you talking about?\n\nCollege football has been played since 1869. Rutgers beat Princeton 6-4 on November 6, 1869. That was the first intercollegiate football game.

Algernon Darius Crumpler to be exact.  They said his full name about 300 times on SportsCenter like 3 weeks ago when he caught those 3 touchdown passes.

The Play:  Cal & Stanford in the Big Game, 1982, IIRC.\n\nJoe Starkey's raspy call of that play is a legend.  There is a crushed trombone in the College Football hall of fame to commemorate it.\n\nAnd it's just freakin' hilarious to watch...

There have been many in NFL history, the last being in 1943 (November 7, between the Giants and Lions).  There have been many in college history as well.
