The 23rd-ranked UNLV football team will look 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 to appear at No. 24 in the College Football Playoff rankings for the first time in program history on Tuesday.

UNLV can still reach the conference championship game if it wins 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 straight 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 also rank fourth in the country.
