The first full day of fall sees us only three weeks into the college football season yet the coaching hot seat picture is becoming clearer.

While there is plenty of football left to be played some coaches like Rich Rodriguez and Randy Sherman have already firmly taken themselves off the hot seat. 

Others are becoming more entrenched after every game.

The following is a list of ten coaches for whom time might be quickly running out and five names that will certainly be mentioned as replacements.

The Hot Seat Rankings

1. Al Groh, Virginia

Groh's seat was hot coming into the season after a number of sub par years in Charlottesville and a 5-7 record in 2008. It's clear that Groh is a master recruiter; however that has been part of his problem given that he hasn't won with the talent he has brought into the program.

If his seat was hot at the beginning of the season, an opening game loss to FCS foe William and Mary followed by a loss to C-USA, Southern Miss has sealed his fate

2. Steve Kragthorpe, Louisville

In less than three years Louisville has gone from winning BCS bowl games to not even being able to make a bowl game. Kragthorpe finds himself with a 9-14 record against FBS opponents and has lost his last six games against FBS foes including embarrassing losses to Syracuse and Rutgers.

Kragthorpe started the season with a lackluster performance against an Indiana State team that has won only one game since George W. Bush's first term in office and his third straight loss to hated rival Kentucky.
