I prefer the middle one. Someone had to rank it, so although "it ranked tenth" is understandable, it leaves out that idea that someone else did it. Ranked means they were listed in order, so "ranked tenth" does the best together.

I was actually typing in the dark. Everyone else had gone to sleep but my football game wasn't over. So I probably just messed up. Sorry for any confusion.

You don't have to apologize. I make this kind of mistake all the time.
