Oh I get it. But let's say you are down 7 (or 8) and you do get that tie to stay alive. FG beats you now.

Advantages both ways. I'm not sure it's a clear cut decision to just automatically win the toss, and put the defense on the field like in college.

In time it may prove out to be that way. But I'm not 100% sold just yet.
