Do you think there is another US rules football team that could beat the
Superbowl winner any given year. If the worst team in the NFL were
matched against the best team any other league or nation could field I'd
lay my money on the NFL team.


College All-Stars game played in Chicago, to start the season, up until 1976
(today it's the Hall of Fame pre-season game)

All-Stars won 9 of those games (1 in 4 ...CAS get the tie) against the past
year's NFL Champs. g

Arch Ward - 1975 - Arch Ward, a promoter and Chicago Tribune editor, won the
award for coming up with the annual College All-Star game, an event that
matched the previous year's NFL Champs with the previous year's college
all-stars. The first CASG was played in 1934, and ended in a 0-0 tie with
the Chicago Bears. This series lasted until 1976 with the Pittsburgh
Steelers defeated the all-stars 24-0. All told, the college kids did not
fare well against the NFL Champion squads as they went a combined 9-32-1.

College All-Star Football Game
Initiated in 1934 by Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune, the College All-Star
Game football series was played annually in Chicago through 1976. Soon
achieving status as the official opening of each football season, the game
placed Chicago in the national sporting limelight each year as hundreds of
newspaper writers from around the country attended.

Matching a team of graduated All-American players from the previous season
against the defending National Football League professional champion, the
games were all played at Soldier Field—except for two games held at
Northwestern. During its lifetime the series raised approximately $4 million
for various Chicago-area charities. --Raymond Schmidt
