I don't think it should be that hard. Simplify it further then!
33% offensive/defensive stats
33% RPI
34% Coaches Poll
Done. How can you deny that this isn't objective? It should work every time! The cream of the crop WILL RISE. Fact.

I strongly disagree. You are presuming a formula can be predictive when you are judging a bunch of different teams playing very different schedules under very different circumstances. Some teams like a 98 Tenn or 02 tOSU are solid workhorse teams that will win close games on teh basis of defense (in good conferences). Other teams like a 99 FSU, 01 Miami, or 03 USC will put up big offensive numbers against a softer schedule.
It is really not a failing of the formulas or their programmers to solve this problem IMO. It is just bad logic on the part of people who assume a formula should be able to do this.
