Don't look now but at the moment Virginia's football recruiting class is ranked 26th nationally on the composite site of 247Sports. That puts them 6th in the ACC. If coach London keeps his job after this season, with one of the toughest schedules in the nation, his recruiting is the reason. It is amazing that he can have such recruiting sucess with such a dismal win and loss record in the last couple years and the other schools making sure to suggest to recruits that London is probably not going to be back.

London can recruit but he's set up for failure with a brutal schedule .

Doesn't Virginia always put together great recruiting classes? I feel like I remember them always having at least one five star player and a bunch of four stars. Somehow uva always performs poorly with a lot of talent.

London has recruited very well his entire time in Charlottesville. His problem is that UVA has SUCKED his entire time there. Whoopty-doo.

Bottom line, CavMan: how many wins does it take to save London's job (in your opinion)?

Since UVa will be favored in only two games, and Fla St and UCLA are top ten teams and certain losses, then that means upsets must be achieved among the following:
UNC
GaT
BYU
Miami
VT
Duke
Louisville
Pittsburg

All of those 8 teams are getting votes in the preaseason polls so far, so my guess is that if London beats the odds and pulls three upset victories from that list then the AD takes some of the heat for scheduling UCLA and gives London one more year. So 5 wins does it I think.
