I don't get the hate for the BCS.

I think we can all agree that the best team in the nation has won the National Championship every year in the BCS era.
Why do we want to get rid of it after the success we have had in this era?
You know what they say: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Will still have to expand to 8 teams. 4 teams is going to a headache for the 5 major conferences to fight over especially when one conference gets 2 spots. Then you will really see a melt.

Not all contraversy lies in who plays in the Championship game (though, that's most of it and rightfully so). It also has to do with the AQs and tie-in bullshite.
What is the justification for having lower ranked teams be in a BCS bowl over a higher ranked team? In what other sport would that be acceptable? The teams are already ranked at the end of the year so just take the top 10 teams and match them up. 1 vs 2 in the championship, 3 vs 4, 5 vs 6, etc. Avoid intraconference games and rematches if at all possible.
Take South Carolina (or Mizzou) this year for instance. We're #10 I beleive? How is it fair to punish us just because of the conference we play in? We play in the nation's best conference so of course 2 teams are getting into the BCS. But South Carolina beat 2 teams headed to BCS bowls, UCF and Clemson, and are ranked higher than both.
I get that they want to award teams for winning their conference but there are times (like this year) where the 3rd best team in conference A is better than the best team in conference B and 2nd best team in conference C.

There will be haters for the new system. Baylor would be hating if there were 4 teams.

I didn't have a problem with the BCS. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than anything we've ever had. There is no perfect way to determine a champion in college football, that's one reason it is so popular - the debate. The new playoff is a step backwards where we're going to have a few nimrods with heavy bias deciding who gets in.

I wasn't watching football back then, but what about 2003 and 2008 U.S.C.? 2008 Oklahoma got picked over 2008 Texas in the BCS Standings.
Did 2000 Miami deserve a nod over Florida State for the national championship?

Once the playoff expands to 8 teams it will be perfect.
Hopefully the get rid of the committee as well when this happens.
