Gophers sit at No. 30 in Massey Ratings

Before we dive in, it’s worth noting that the Golden Gophers currently sit at No. 30 in the current Massey ratings, which is four spots lower since the last update.

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 Gophers, according to the rankings, have the No. 62 offense in the country with just two week one games remaining, and the No. 15 defense.

Being ranked No. 30 currently puts the Gophers as the No. 9 team in the Big Ten.
