If you consider the standard bell-shaped curve, there are fewer people at the extremes and they stand out more. As you move to the next levels, there are more people and it's much harder to differentiate. As examples. it's easier to name a first-team All America squad than the fourth team; or draftniks agree on the top 5 NFL draftees and disagree on the next 20 because there's not as much to pick between them.
