The UNLV football team is back in the national rankings.
The Rebels (8-2), fresh off a 41-20 win Saturday against visiting San Diego State, are ranked No. 23 in the new Associated Press rankings released this morning. They are also No. 23 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll.
It’s the highest all-time ranking in each poll, the university said.
The program reached the top-25 for the first time in school history in September when it debuted in the Coaches’ Poll. Two weeks later, the Rebels earned their first appearance in the Associated Press poll.
A loss to Boise State last month knocked UNLV out of the rankings. However, they’ve beat Hawaii and San Diego State in the past two weeks to return.
UNLV at 7 p.m. Friday plays at San Jose State.
