I knew *some* of this but not all - just an fyi here:

Men's college basketball teams are rated for quadrants based on their opponents' NET rankings and the location of the game:

  • Quadrant 1
    Home games against teams ranked 1–30, neutral games against teams ranked 1–50, and away games against teams ranked 1–75

  • Quadrant 2
    Home games against teams ranked 31–75, neutral games against teams ranked 51–100, and away games against teams ranked 76–135

  • Quadrant 3
    Home games against teams ranked 76–160, neutral games against teams ranked 101–200, and away games against teams ranked 136–240

  • Quadrant 4
    Home games against teams ranked 161–353, neutral games against teams ranked 201–353, and away games against teams ranked 241–353
The NCAA uses the quadrant system to help determine which teams are selected for the NCAA Tournament:
  • Quad 1 wins: Considered "good wins" and are a strong indicator of a team's resume
  • Quad 4 losses: Considered "bad losses" and can significantly hurt a team's chances of making the tournament

The NCAA's NET rankings are a primary metric used by the selection committee to determine seeding. The NET rankings are updated nightly and are based on an algorithm that considers the outcome of games.

The WVU and LSU wins could flip to Quad 1 My god is the ACC bad at basketball. Is it good at anything aside from soccer and volleyball?

LSU is going to tank hard. WVU might actually be good, which I don't understand.

Putting UNC in as that 4th team right now is being generous. They are 5-4 with a NET of 42. I do think the ACC gets 4 and maybe 5 but I wouldn't count on UNC being one of those. To your point, the ACC has a massive basketball problem. They got 2 teams in a 12 team CFP and may only get 3 in a 68 team basketball tournament.
