I'm not entirely sure how the quadrants in NET are defined, but in the way KenPom defines A-tier and B-tier games, Gonzaga is 5-2 in A-tier games and 4-0 in B-tier games, so it's pretty similar to the NET quadrants.

Iowa State is A: 4-3 and B: 3-2 for comparison.

So Gonzaga is pretty legit, even though their overall schedule is probably littered with lower tier teams (I have no doubt that they're a top tier team, just curious on how it looked on paper).

If there's a complaint about anyone's ranking its probably Nevada.

I at least understand (if i may disagree at times) the logic some may use when they rank a team high as long as they havent lost, but nevada not only hasnt beaten anyone worth a damn, they have a horrible, horrible loss on their schedule. Them only dropping from 6 to 10 in the AP poll after losing to New Mexico (KP 182) is a joke.

Our 6 wins is the lowest of anyone in the Top 20. I wouldn't have guessed that.
And the 2nd worst winning %.
We have time to make up ground, and hopefully the committee takes into account the considerable roster changes.

I was pretty aware of this in non-conference which kept me skeptical of our gaudy advanced stats. It was going to be a race as to whether we could develop fast enough to maintain those stats against better competition regularly. We stumbled a bit early but I think we are on schedule now. We are now in prime position to accrue more Q1 wins going forward.
