CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — After making history last year by winning a program-record 11 games, the University of Virginia football team came into the 2026 season with lofty goals. The Cavaliers wanted to return to Charlotte, N.C., for the ACC championship game and, after winning this time, then advance to the College Football Playoff.
Those objectives are no longer possibilities for UVA, which is 4-5 overall and 2-4 in ACC. Still, head coach Tony Elliott said Tuesday during his weekly media availability at the Hardie Center, the Wahoos still have multiple goals they’re trying to achieve.
