[B]Win % by Quad[/B]

I didn't show this table before as the sample of games for Q1, Q2 were small after the first few weeks.

Same story here.   The SEC is well ahead of everybody else in quality games.   Winning 67% of their Q1 and Q2 games, while the Big10 is next at 48%.   The B12 is more in the same tier of the BE in quality games.

Excluding the MWC, the ACC is far behind in quality games.   31% vs the lowest of 41%.

The B12 does find a way to avoid bad losses.

This is the interesting that shows how the B12 hangs around at the top of the NET despite its quality games being suspect.

Note how far better the SEC is when games are tougher, but how the gap closes or swings the other way against cupcakes.
Q1 - 1.4 vs (6.2)
Q2 - 8.7 vs 1.5
Q3 - 19.2 vs 16.6
Q4Top - 23.5 vs 20.7
Q4 Bottom - 31.1 vs 33.2

Since both leagues have played 47% of their games against cupcakes, these Q4 games impact NET more than any other quad.   It's why when you look at the overall number, the B12 is still close enough.

The B10 also gets a lot closer to the SEC when the games are easier, but its not quite as drastic.

But its fair to say that for the B12 its their dominance in these games that keeps them very relevant in NET.   In fact if you look at Q1/Q2 games the B12 and the ACC are very similar in margins.  [/B]
