I think Im pretty good and understanding it, as I've watched and somewhat studied it for years. But Auburn's makes zero sense to me. Comparing it to ours they are slightly better in the Q1 quad, and better in Q2 by a bit. However, they have 3 Q4 losses. Those losses much of the time have a much bigger impact than the Q1 wins, as evidenced by our large drop after the UALR game. To be fair their losses were upper tier Q4 teams where ours was a 250+ RPI loss, but their 3 losses are pretty dang bad, too.
I get most other teams up there, but theirs, Coastals, and UCLA seem like anomalies to me.
