I have never watched a Top Tier Club game live but the other night I did Watch one on youtube. You can not judge speed, pace of play, size, strength, aggressiveness, physicality etc... by watching film. The perspective changes depending on ones vantage point. Watching from the sideline is different from watching up in the stands and watching on TV / Computer is different than watching live. Where the camera is positioned affects how the game looks and a gam produced by ESPN in a legit stadium looks completely different from a game produced by a lesser quality outfit at a small school with bleachers. That said, The Top Club Teams could not compete with any DI programs or the Top Tier DII and DIII programs. The Top Tier Club programs could certainly compete with many DII and DIII programs and would beat 99% of all HS Teams.

here are highlights of 2017 BYU vs Utah... two years before the Utes went Varsity so probably few if any of their DI recruits.

The top club teams, cannot compete with any NCAA programs.
