    Well here we are folks.

    It took about half an hour of arguing, updating statistics, providing new information, and conversations about Kiehl Frazier that lasted way longer than they should have.

    The first few iterations of the ranking the AI model spat out were... inaccurate, to say the least. So, I did what I could to provide stats, history, and majority opinion about certain quarterbacks (shoutout Tyler Queen for being GPT's favorite) to help organize the list better.

    There are probably a few names left off the list - especially walk-ons. But here is ChatGPT's ranking of every Auburn football quarterback since 2000.
