Big Blind would come in 10th assuming he didn't win the pot..
Small Blind 9th

i cannot possibly fathom why this would be true or you would think it would be true?

I assume you mean that chip stacks are sized before the cards are dealt in order to determine who comes in 2nd/3rd etc? In this case, where there would be one winner if everyone goes all-in on the first hand, the winner would take first prize and the other 9 players would split the remaining (2nd and 3rd) prizes. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance
