We would get no boost.  Its not a "circular" calculation.

Q1-Q4 is not an "input" into the NET
Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 is purely an "output" derived whatever the NET's of teams are.

So if we move up to #75 in the NET.
a) It will make a few teams happy like Virginia, Wake since they get an extra Q2 ****
b) But it will have zero impact on the calculated NET of Virginia or Wake, or our own NET.

**** Should also be noted for those that are quadrant obsessed on the edges - and I am talking to myself at times as well in this regard because I do look at.    It might not matter that much if a team is #77 instead of #75, if its an actual legit team, and I think we are viewed as a legit "Q2" team for those that play us..

The NCAA committee has said when they assess teams right on the bubble line, they tend to scrub the edges of quad lines and may move up the quality of a victory.  Whether we are Q3 or not, that Wake win over us could well be assessed as a Q2 win by the committee when they scrub theWake resume.   I think for Wake, we could be viewed as "Q2" in that scrub.     Unfortunately for us, I'm not sure someone like NC St would get the boost to Q2.

They don't really take deep dives like that on teams that are clearly in... but they do scrub things out when you are on the bubble line.   They have to do something to justify their hanging out for 6 days after all.
