ESPN.com's Power Poll This week's rankings were determined by a poll of ESPN.com's NFL staff -- writers John Clayton, Len Pasquarelli, Michael Smith and ESPN.com NFL editors Peter Lawrence-Riddell and James C. Black.

The last Power Rankings of the season look nothing like the first one we did prior to Week 1 . The Steelers are solidly at No. 1 and were without a doubt one of our biggest misses -- we had them at No. 22. We were pretty close on our top three teams in the preseason rankings (Patriots, Eagles and Colts), who finished No. 2 through No. 4. Our other huge miss was the Chargers, although we feel pretty confident that we weren't the only folks who missed on them. The Chargers finished at No. 5, 26 spots higher than we had them in the preseason (No. 31).Here's the rest of our final top 10 along with their preseason rankings: Falcons (No. 19), Packers (No. 11), Jets (No. 14), Broncos (No. 10) and Seahawks (No. 5).In terms of teams that we overrated heading into the season, the list starts with the Chiefs. Our No. 4 team to open the year, the Chiefs finished at No. 18, and that was after winning four of their last five games.On to the rankings, where we try to pick out something for each team to be optimistic about heading into the offseason or the playoffs.
