Is it math or a vote?

It's both. The BCS standings are derived from three sources - Harris Interactive College Poll, USA Today Coaches Poll, and six computer rankings. The votes for each team (per poll) are divided by the total number of votes available, while the computer rankings are an average of the computer scores after dropping the highest and lowest score for each school. If you ever look at a BCS standing grid, that's why there are three columns to show how each sector voted and how the overall rating was obtained.

It's a vote, and some mathimatical factors. They take into account toughness of schedule, win - loss record, style points(how they won, were they behind, did they show a dominant force), a computer ranking is also factored in, coaches ranking, people ranking, old players, coaches and random people rank(you can actually sign up to be a person that ranks every week). It's a long drawn out and pretty much rediculous process.
The site below explains it well.

its math, it takes a bunch of things like the coach's poll, AP poll, team strength of schedule, no. of losses, quality of wins, strength of schedule, what conference your in, and a bunch more crap, and throws it into a computer in some screwed up equation, which gives you the bowl teams

Personally, I think it is a dart board and a big coin. I can;t understand the math at all
