Sorry, I should have specified that I was referring to NET quadrants. (The NET ranking replaced RPI as the primary sorting tool for the NCAA WBB selection committees beginning in 2020.)
The NET rankings break down the quality of opponents into four different groupings (or "quadrants") based on where the game took place. A "Quadrant 1" win is 1) a home win against a NET top 30 team, 2) a neutral win against a NET top 50 team, or 3) an away win against a NET top 75 team. The list I presented ranked the teams based on how many especially good (Quadrant 1 or "tournament quality") wins they have so far.
P.S. My references to "rankings" in the bracketed notes is to AP rankings.
Thanks for the clarification -- well described
