If you're advocating for both teams to get a possession on offense first because that's 'equal', that's not equal at all.  The first team can't risk a 4th down or red zone risk taking them out of FG range.  The second team knows exactly what it needs.   They can play it cautious, play for a FG, play for 4 downs instead of 3 if needed,  everything dependent on whatever the first team does.  Tremendous advantage to get the ball second in OT if you give both teams an offensive possession no matter what.</blockquote>
