Maybe I misunderstood what they were talking about but, I was pretty sure that was what was said.

They probably said "top 5" instead of "top 10" since
clearly, the top 10 thing happened in 2004.
The important thing, though, has nothing to do with the specific stat you quoted - to infer that somehow losing to Iowa is the same as Michigan losing to Appalachian State is just crazy talk (remember the PSU Big Ten title from 2005? Iowa tied for the title in 2004. And 2002.). PSU was probably a little overrated at #3, and Iowa a little underrated at just outside the top 25, so it's really just a tough loss on a cold day. Nothing for PSU fans to be embarrassed about.
