It's brilliant; I wish I had thought of it, and I hope it becomes the standard in both the NFL and college.  It's called "spot and chose", a take on "cut and choose" when trying to decide how to split a slice of cake.

one team select[s] where to spot the ball at the start of the first overtime possession and the other team pick[s] whether to play offense or defense.

For example, the Ravens could spot the ball at the 10-yard line. Then their opponent would have to pick whether it wants to start on offense from its own 10-yard line or play defense.

There's still a coin toss, but it only determines which teams gets to pick between spotting the ball (and direction of play) or choosing the side.
