The Tigers have collected seven Quadrant 1 victories and a clean slate in terms of bad losses.
Take a look at the NET rankings profile for Auburn.

What am I looking at?
A full explanation of the NET rankings can be found here, but the most important things to understand (we're led to believe, since the NET formula is not public) are the quadrant meanings. You'll hear "Quad 1 opponent" or some form of it a lot between now and Selection Sunday, and the quadrants are broken down below.
Quadrant 1: Home Ranked No. 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75
Quadrant 2: Home Ranked No. 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135
