The 23rd-ranked UNLV football team will try to keep its Mountain West title hopes alive when it faces host San Jose State on Friday night.
The Rebels (8-2, 4-1 MW) are coming off a 41-20 victory over San Diego State and appeared in the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday for the first time in program history at No. 24.
UNLV can still make the conference championship game if it wins out and Colorado State (7-3, 5-0) loses one of its final two games.
San Jose State (6-4, 3-3) lost to Boise State 42-21 last week. Wide receiver Nick Nash has caught a touchdown in 10 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the FBS and a school record.
The Spartans are tied with the Rebels for the most interceptions in the Mountain West with 16. Both teams are also tied for the fourth-most in the nation.
