Winning the coin toss is definitely an advantage. More importantly in the NFL, it's definitive. Someone wins, someone loses. It's still possible to tie in the regular season, but it's very rare.

College can't do that because a loss during the season usually means that team is out of the national championship hunt. So the NCAA puts a premium on merit versus definitive-ness. You can blow a play in OT and still make it up, etc...
