LAS VEGAS - San Diego State will meet Air Force in the 2015 Sports Authority Mountain West Football Championship on Dec. 5, the league announced today. The Aztecs (7-3, 6-0 MW entering tonight’s game at UNLV) and Falcons (8-3, 6-1 MW) will meet at 4:30 p.m. PT (5:30 p.m. MT) on ESPN2.
The game will be played either at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego or Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colo., depending on which team is the highest-ranked divisional champion. The first criteria in comparing the two teams is the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. If no team is ranked in the top 25 of the CFP, a composite of selected computer rankings will determine the host.
The championship site is expected to be announced on Nov. 29 by the MW.

SDSU secured a spot in the title game with Nevada losing to Utah State, 31-27. Heading into the weekend, San Diego State needed either a win or a Nevada loss to clinch a spot in the championship game. The Aztecs have a three-game lead in the loss column in the division with two games to play.
AFA earned a spot in the championship game with a 37-30 win at Boise State last night and New Mexico falling to Colorado State, 28-21, at home. Air Force has a two-game lead over Boise State and New Mexico with one game left in the regular season.
