Heisman Watch is a look at 2010 Heisman Trophy candidates. It is not intended to serve as an opinion piece about who should win, instead it's intended to be a gauge of how all voters across the country seem to be leaning.
The Front-Runners
Cam Newton, Auburn, QB
Last week: Maybe Cam heard the cries of people who don't think he can throw the ball. He tossed four touchdowns as part of his first 300-yard game of his career. He also added his 15th rushing touchdown -- second in the nation. The Tigers defeated Chattanooga to run their record to 10-0 and remain part of the national title picture.
Remaining: vs. Georgia, at Alabama; possibly SEC championship
Chances: If the voting took place now and there were no off-field issues, I believe Newton would have this thing in the bag. He's second in passing efficiency, fourth in rushing yards and second in rushing touchdowns while quarterbacking one of the nation's two undefeated teams from AQ conferences. That's the recipe for a winner. Of course, Auburn still has a few tests left and as the weeks mount, so do the allegations levied in Newton's direction. To debate whether or not these things should factor in on the Heisman voting is one thing, but it would be a complete folly to believe they'll have no impact on the actual voting. If the Tigers do run the table with Newton playing well and he emerges relatively unscathed from all the allegations, however, he's got the best shot at the award.
