With the 2024 college football season less than two months away, rankings season, which happens to coincide with “talkin’ season,” is in full swing, especially over at SEC Unfiltered.
For those unfamiliar with the site’s entertaining podcast and YouTube channel, founder Chris Phillips has slowly but surely become a household name in the SEC football landscape. With SEC media days next week, all of us, including Phillips, will be present for the annual event, which will surely create an abundance of storylines.
Before the festivities, Phillips released his SEC quarterback rankings earlier this week, which stirred up some controversy among SEC fan bases, including Texas A&M.

Set to return after missing the final eight games of the 2023 season due to a foot injury, redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman has added more mass to his frame and looked highly impressive during his performance at the Manning Passing Academy last week.
As you can see, Phillips is taking the “way and see” approach with Weigman, ranking him eighth. Outside of Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava, the six quarterbacks ahead of him have a more proven track record.
However, from a talent standpoint, Weigman’s quick release, accuracy and elite touch have several NFL draft analysts considering him the top quarterback in the 2025 class. Again, this depends on whether he can complete a full season.
Texas A&M’s roster is filled with enough talent and experience to win at least eight. The ceiling is likely nine to 10 wins if everything falls into place, especially if the offensive line improves after a disastrous 2023 season and can hold its own alongside a borderline elite defensive line and hopefully improved secondary.
In just four games last season, Conner Weigman completed 68% of his passes while throwing for 979 yards, eight touchdowns, and just two interceptions on the year.
