The points system encourages students to participate in more events than they can handle well. It is not synonymous with excellence. No NFL Champion has ever been on that list of 150.

A more accurate description on your resume would be “NFL All-American (Top 10).” That’s nothing to be scoffed at, but it is radically different from being ranked in the top ten. Ranking insinuates success in a particular event. All-Americans rarely do well on the national circuit in their events.

Again, I don’t mean to quibble. This doesn’t detract from your college application. In fact, it serves quite the opposite purpose! Good luck in the admissions process.
