Rankings from CFP Rankings

The 2024 UNLV Rebels football team represented the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the Mountain West Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rebels were led by Barry Odom in his second and final year as the head coach. The Rebels played their home games at Allegiant Stadium, located in Paradise, Nevada.[1]

On September 29, the Rebels were ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in school history.[2] With their win over Oregon State on October 19, the Rebels were bowl eligible in consecutive seasons for the first time in program history. The win also gave the program their first consecutive winning seasons since their now-forfeited 1983 and 1984 campaigns.

On December 8, Odom accepted the role of head coach for the Purdue Boilermakers starting in 2025;[3] he left UNLV with a 19–8 record. Their victory over California gave them their 11th victory, officialy the most in a season since 1974 and most since being a member of Division I FBS.
