When looking up the ophtho program rankings I only come across the Top 20. I was wondering if someone can rank about 10-12 programs that may be ranked after the Top 20. Thanks.

The problem with rankings is that they are mainly popularity contests. All the middle tier programs are competitive and good programs. You'll have to find one that fits your personality. However, the bottom tier programs will be obvious when you visit them: lack of facilities, low number of dedicated faculty, lack of research opportunities, etc...
 
There is no such thing as "top 20" programs. Everyone's needs vary.

If there is a "top 20", such a list is probably "top 20 programs for an academic career in an unspecified sub-specialty". That description is, however, too long for everyday use.

If your interest is in oculoplastics or retina or in private practice or other situation, your top 20 will be different.
