I wrote this Haiku last year in Week 6; it's still relevant:
It's early Autumn,
The air is crisp, and my foot-
ball team sucks again.
Week 5 was fairly uneventful. Everyone who made a pick advanced to week 6 in both the Winners' and Losers' brackets. There were 3 non-picks in each bracket.
In the Winners' pool, there were 37 picks for Rutgers over Wagner, 25 for Minnesota over Louisiana, 2 for Iowa over Michigan State, and 1 for Maryland over Indiana.
[As a reminder, you may pick against a team a maximum of three times. If a teams abbreviation appears once or twice, you have picked against them once or twice respectively. When you have picked against a team for a third time that team will appear spelled out, bolded, and italicized. This will indicate that you may then no longer pick against that team.]
Here's who is left in the Winners' bracket along with their (prior picks) *both alphabetically, as well as [B1G teams you have picked against]:

3 bold individuals have already successfully picked a Northwestern win. For the rest of us this might be the surest thing left on the Wildcats' schedule. Get your cupcakes while they're hot! (Technically Penn State plays a cupcake next week, but the Nits can feast on plenty of in-conference cream puffs). Who's taking the Cats and who's rooting fervently for Howard?

In the Losers' bracket in Week 5, we had 3 non-picks drop out, 5 contenders moved on with Nebraska losing to Michigan, 3 folks picked Northwestern to lose to Penn State, and one individual had to sweat out 3 quarters of the Michigan State/Iowa game. Unfortunately football games last 4 quarters and well... fudge.
Please note the game times listed above.
[As a reminder, you may pick against/have a team win for you a maximum of three times. Any team you successfully picked in the Winners' pool counts as one bullet used (you may pick against them only 2 more times).
If a teams abbreviation appears once or twice, you have picked against them once or twice respectively. When you have picked against a team for a third time that team will appear spelled out, bolded, and italicized. This will indicate that you may then no longer pick against that team.]

*NU'06er has picked through the end of the season and may keep or change his/her picks as he/she wishes, but is currently good to go with whomever ends up in the conference title game as NU'06er dutifully avoided maxing any team out before then.
Good luck to all in Week 6.
