is that each team is guaranteed one possession regardless of the result from the first team on offense. However, I would be happy with the NFL OT rules without this change, and that would make more sense for college if the goal is to shorten OT as much as possible while requiring the same skill set to win said game.

Agreed! The NFL should make that modification

The college game has changed to the point that a tie using the NFL OT system (or the better version you suggested) is almost impossible, but still not an unthinkable rare result for a regular season game. Put the conference championship games and playoffs under the NFL playoff rules for OT, and you can continue playing football to determine the outcome of the game instead of suddenly switching to arena football.
