LOTS of articles discussing co-national champions

There are lots of articles out there discussing the merits of co-national champions. I won't link them all here but they either have one or two flavors:

1. This is a terrible system and has been proven over and over. Co-national champions is a travesty
2. Why is this such a bad thing?

Here is an example of #2:

QUOTE from article:
".......How is that a bad thing? When the bowl season is finished, there's a good chance we will have co-national champions. That means two teams whose players are wearing rings that say "national champions." Believe me, nobody from the Colorado or Georgia Tech teams of 1991 walks around feeling cheated about a shared title. Nobody from the Nebraska or Michigan teams of 1997 feels slighted. One season. Two champions. How is that a bad thing?........"
