AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Cam Newton welcomes all those comparisons to Tim Tebow.
He just doesn't want to talk about the Heisman Trophy.
Good luck with that. The Heisman hype is really hitting its stride, and the hottest pick at the moment might just be Auburn's do-it-all quarterback, a charismatic junior who used to back up Tebow at Florida.
Newton has guided No. 5 Auburn (7-0, 4-0 SEC) to its best start since its perfect 2004 season. Given the state of some Heisman contenders, he might just be the new odds-on favorite to capture college football's top individual prize.
Newton had another huge game Saturday, running for 188 yards, throwing for 140 and accounting for four touchdowns in a wild 65-43 victory over Arkansas.
