In Week 5 of B1G Survivor, approximately 2/3rds of the remaining field was able to get their Illinois pick out of the way. For those of you who passed on the Illini last week, never fear--you have another chance this upcoming week, as trasch-ass Wisconsin travels to Champaign!

It was another week of minimal activity in the Survivor pool. Those of you who picked Illinois had to sweat things out for a little while, but were never in true danger of elimination. Five other B1G teams were selected, and all five cruised to easy victories. Our only two eliminations were two no-shows, taking the remaining field from 61 down to these 59:

Note: the first grouping is the teams you have already picked, and the second grouping (if applicable) contains the B1G opponents of the teams you have picked. Once a particular team in grouping #2 shows up three times, it will be bolded, and cannot be picked against for the rest of the year.

Here is the Week 6 Schedule. All games are on Saturday this week.

Maryland @ Ohio St

Michigan St @ Rutgers

Wisconsin @ Illinois

Penn St @ Iowa

Michigan @ Nebraska

I don´t envy those of you who already used the Wolverines, as the pickings are otherwise pretty slim this week!
