The quad system existed with RPI as well. They simply cut and paste the parsing into the new NET metric.

This is only the second year of the quad system, right? Maybe third. Prior to quadrants win were categorized by top 50, 50-100, etc. regardless of location. I think the quadrant system is aN improvement in that regard. I also think the NET has been a big step forward from the RPI. Though, I wonder why the NCAA had to create their own metric when they could have just combined the ratings of KenPom, BPI, Sagarin, and others into one number.

Ken Pom has said a few times he didn't want his ratings factored into the new NCAA NET system because it was more predictive and wouldn't provide NCAA committee with the information they wanted.
