Harris and Coach's College Football Poll.

They are throwing a lot of money around.

And, it's no mystery, Missouri and West Virginia threw away a busload of money yesterday as each team lost their games and their 1-2 respective rankings in the Harris Poll, Coach's Poll and the soon to be released BCS Rankings.

The figures from below are from last year's games but you can get the idea of just how much money the two schools will lose out on.

However, the kids that don't graduate, will lose out on much more, no?
