OT Coin Toss = 49'ers Demise?

A previous post in this thread makes a good point: this new setup for the NFL changes the better strategy to what coaches have been doing in college football for years now -- defer if you win the toss.
But in college both teams are guaranteed to get the ball an equal number of times. I think the NFL needs to just give them the ball at the 35 going in and be done with it. More like college rules. I hardly see the point of the clock even running yesterday in the Super Bowl.
