Thats up 11 from last year, but this level of futility -- Chicago has qualified for the postseason just five times since Mike Ditka was fired in the early 1990s -- puts them on the level of Cleveland or Jacksonville. The Bears promised to usher in a new era of hope when they hired general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox after the Marc Trestman debacle. So far though, both have failed to deliver anything tangible for Chicago sports fans to embrace.Whats goodChicago skyrocketed 35 spots to No. 46 overall in coaching, showing that fans were on board with Foxs hiring. But staying in the top half of teams could prove difficult. Fox has won a lot of games in the NFL but accomplished almost nothing in Chicago. And while hes surrounded by experienced assistants -- most notably veteran defensive coordinator Vic Fangio -- Chicago lost offensive coordinator Adam Gase to Miami in the offseason, and that is bound to hurt them in the 2017 rankings.Whats badThe Bears rank 111th in affordability and bang for the buck. Ticket prices at Soldier Field are among the highest in the NFL -- only the Patriots, the 49ers, the Cowboys and the Giants charge more. The problem is that, unlike some of those teams, the Bears rarely reward the home fans. Under Fox, Chicago went 1-7 at Soldier Field in 2015. Why pay such expensive ticket prices if the team is bound to lose? That is the dilemma Chicagoans struggle with when it comes to the Bears. Most eventually choose to attend games at Soldier Field, but the payoff is minimal -- and often painful.Whats newThe Bears experienced slight bumps in players (up 11 spots to No. 105) and ownership (up nine, to No. 87), likely, in part, thanks to the new hirings. Again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since George McCaskey assumed the title of team chairman in 2011, the Bears have been wildly unstable, firing two head coaches (Lovie Smith, Trestman) and two general managers (Jerry Angelo, Phil Emery). The Bears have not played in a playoff game over the span. But thanks to players like Jordan Howard and Kevin White, the Bears did successfully transform the roster from one on the leagues oldest to one of the youngest. Now fans just hope they can win more than six games in 2016.Next: Tennessee Titans?| Full rankingsChina Shoes Jordans . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium.

Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach.SEATTLE -- Adoree Jackson sprinted into the purple end zone, planted his feet and flipped backward , perfectly sticking the landing.Southern California celebrated its biggest victory of the season with style and flash Saturday night.Sam Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns and USC upset No. 4 Washington 26-13 on Saturday night, snapping the Huskies 12-game winning streak and damaging their College Football Playoff hopes.Darnold was outstanding against one of the top defenses in the Pac-12, showing why USC has surged since he became the starter. Darnolds lofted pass over linebacker D.J. Beavers and into the arms of tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe for an 8-yard touchdown strike in the opening moments of the fourth quarter gave USC an 11-point lead that Washington (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12, No. 4 CFP) couldnt overcome.To play that game, at this age, in that atmosphere? Unbelievable, USC coach Clay Helton said.Ronald Jones II added 93 yards rushing and a touchdown. USC (7-3, 6-2, No. 20 CFP) won its sixth straight and should get back into the AP Top 25 while keeping alive its hopes of winning the Pac-12 South.Washington coach Chris Petersen cautioned all week that USC was back to looking like the most talented team in the Pac-12 and he was proved correct. Darnold flustered Washingtons defense by keeping plays alive with his feet and found gaps in the Huskies secondary that have been difficult for others to find.If guys are looking down the horizon, youre going to get hit right between the eyes, Petersen said. Theres too many good players and coaches in this league. ... I think we played a good team tonight.Darreus Rogers had six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, while Imatorbhebhe added five catches for 78 yards. Washington lost starting middle linebacker Azeem Victor in the second quarter to a lower right leg injury that required an air cast and a cart to take the Huskies leading tackler off the field. His absence was felt in the pass game where USC exploited the middle of the field.When you have great players in front of you ... its your job to get them the ball and find the open guy. I thought I did that pretty well tonight, Darnold said.Washington quarterback Jake Browning was 17 of 36 for 259 yards, including a 70-yard TD pass to John Ross where he shook Jackson at the line of scrimmage. Ross finished with eight catches for 154 yards, but the Huskies were held to 17 yards rushing after coming into the week as the Pac-12 leader averaging 231 yards per game.Herres where we find out if were the front-runners that are only playing well when things are going well or are we going to respond and bounce back stronger? Browning said.dddddddddddd That will be interesting to see what kind of team are we.When USC went ahead 10-3 on Rogers 13-yard TD catch it was the first time Washington trailed at home since the first quarter of last Novembers Apple Cup against Washington State. The 17-6 halftime lead for the Trojans marked Washingtons first halftime deficit in more than a calendar year. The Huskies last trailed at the break on Nov. 7, 2015, against Utah, a game they lost 34-23.It was the drive just before halftime that put USC in control. Taking over at the 18 with 2:27 left in the half, Darnold completed 4 of 7 passes for 75 yards and capped the drive with Jones 4-yard TD run and an 11-point lead at the break.USC also got a huge play from Jack Jones in the third quarter blocking Cameron Van Winkles 38-yard field goal attempt after Darnold was intercepted for a second time by Washingtons Taylor Rapp.POLL IMPLICATIONSWelcome back to the AP Top 25 , USC. The Trojans were the first team outside the Top 25 last week but certainly will make a significant leap after the impressive win. With rest of the chaos this week, perhaps USC will crack the top 20.The chaos in the top 10 may help Washington also. The Huskies may not be penalized as much because of other top 10 teams losing.THE TAKEAWAYUSC: Jackson didnt have the best night, especially when he was matched up in coverage on Ross. But he came up with two key interceptions, both times using his quickness to break in front of the receivers and grab Brownings pass.Washington: The big plays that have been part of Washingtons success all season were absent. Washington had just three plays of longer than 20 yards: Two by Ross and a 28-yard pass to Chico McClatcher.INJURY REPORTPetersen did not have much of an update after the game on Victors injury. Its another blow to Washingtons defense that is likely to be without defensive end and sack leader Joe Mathis for the rest of the season due to foot surgery.UP NEXTUSC: The Trojans travel across town next Saturday to face rival UCLA at the Rose Bowl.Washington: The Huskies close out their home schedule hosting Arizona State.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
