So you have to assume by looking at these rankings and how each team has done so far this year that they are taking into account data from last year? Nothing makes sense otherwise.

https://www.masseyratings.com/theory/massey.htm



Massey uses weighted values from the previous season until there are enough games to compute unique solutions, and that weight decreases each week. Other rankings like the Colley Matrix do not, and so you get lots of ties in rankings and things that make little sense early on.
