I'm going to beat the point to death until it gets pounded into the heads of every poster in this thread. College rules are not the same as the NFL. They eliminate kickoffs, always start the ball on the opposition's 25 yardline, and also if the team that elects to play defense falls behind but ties it up on the ensuing possession, they then get the go-head possession on the next possession.
That, if you ask me is why the teams electing to play defense on the toss do so. They're not going to get that advantage here, if they score to tie it up, they're going to kick that ball back to the starting team.
College rules have no relevance here. NONE, NONE WHATSOEVER.
