Source? All of the things I read is that the NET is designed to be an improved ranking system that was supposed to eliminate the outliers from RPI. The quadrants were added last year before the new NET was developed.

Here is a good article on ways to take advantage of the NET ranking:
“Q: Can we use this knowledge to our advantage?
A: If I really thought I knew some big secret that would benefit the team, I would be bugging Kevin Keatts and Debbie Yow on Twitter instead of talking about it here. Regardless, here is some obvious advice:
Run up the score whenever possible. Yes, the Margin is capped at 10 points per game, but the Efficiency is unlimited. I’m not saying that it’s worth being unsportsmanlike or risking injury, but the math says that every point counts, on offense and defense, every second of every game.
It’s better to schedule bad teams that play good teams than bad teams that play bad teams.
Avoid scheduling tough games at home. Losing at home hurts your Adjusted Win Percentage much more than winning helps it. And if the opponent doesn’t finish in the top 30, it’s not even a Quadrant 1 game.
Consider scheduling away games against teams in the 76-135 rank area. It’s fairly winnable, it can boost the Adjusted Win Percentage, and it counts as a respectable Quadrant 2 game.”
