That's why you need sports data junkies and statisticians in the room.
And even if someone judges the quality of the poll on the basis of whether or not their results match the poll opinions in a given year, THAT'S FINE. It may match one year, but if you keep it consistent and don't change it...it may show a different result in subseqeuent years.
There have been tons of statisticians, math geeks, and other informed/interested parties working on this for years.
The problem is the one you touch on in the second part of your comment - the formula that looks good one year doesn't work as well the following year. There really isn't going to be a set and dry "objective" answer from the computers or formulas because the different teams in competition are playing hugely different types of schedules.

Then it wasn't a very good formula to begin with was it?
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.
