I've been having trouble getting to the USMS Top Ten site the last two days. Anyone know if there is a URL change?

Using only data submitted by LMSCs to National for Top Ten could not be expected to produce a National Top 40 listing that had any validity whatsoever.
Simply consider the guy who placed 11th in a BIG, competitive LMSC (like Pacific) in the 30-35 age group and thus didn't get sent on for National TT consideration. I don't think it likely that his time would be slow enough not to be a legitimate T40 listing. But if it isn't submitted, it wouldn't make the list. The 12th place guy (and mebbe even the 30th place guy) might also be in the same boat.
Assembling a National T40 listing from TTen submissions from each LMSC would be a bit like assembling the National TTen listings just from TThree listings from each LMSC.
