This weeks bye gives Cameron Newton and the auburn tigers a much needed break on the field... But off the field, Newton will not be so lucky.
Media reports surrounding a possible pay for play scandal involving Cameron Newton will only intensify as the Iron Bowl nears.
And while Auburn fans have their sights set on a possible national title the most coveted individual award may be lost.
CBS sportswriter Dennis Dodd tells CBS 42 that negative reports surrounding Cameron Newton are costing the Heisman hopeful much needed votes.
Dodd is a Heisman voter and says that other voters have told him that they will not support Newton.
"Given what we've gone through with Reggie Bush there's a lot of voters that think fool me once shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me. They don't want to be deceived again. I'm sure the Heisman people don't want to have to take the trophy back... So I think all that plays into it."
For the record, Dodd says he's voting for Cameron Newton unless something substantial comes out showing that Newton or his family accepted money to play college football
