It applies, sort of. This would at least give the team losing the toss the opportunity to get the ball if the team only kicks a field goal first. Yes, you still wouldn't get the ball if the team scored a TD which makes it the same as today. But by making it "score 6", you couldn't lose a game if you stopped a team on the 35 but gave up a long FG. At least you would get a shot.

I for one am not a fan of the college rule in the pros. The back and forth of some of these 7 OT games is just as insane to me as the current sudden death rule in the pros.
