But what are the Massey ratings? Here’s how the Massey ratings are defined.

“Massey Ratings are a comprehensive, data-driven system used to rank sports teams based on their performance throughout the season. The system considers various factors such as game scores, location, strength of schedule, and more to provide a holistic view of a team’s relative strength.”

The Scarlet Knights, according to the rankings, have the No. 37 offense in the country, and the No. 58 defense in the country after two weeks of college football.

Being ranked No. 40 currently puts the Scarlet Knights as the No. 13 overall team in the Big Ten.
