No, but you have to put things in perspective. What's his name who preceded Petersen at Boise State and ran the Colorado program into the ground barely lost at Boise State. Having a dominant program in a sh#### conference isn't as impressive as doing it in a conference that is having a run like the SEC is. Saban and Alabama in their WORST year in the last 5 years beat Big Ten co-champ Michigan State 49-7 in 2010. To put that in perspective, Alabama finished 4th in the SEC West that year. In other words, not all winning runs are created equal. Your competition makes a big difference.

Ok it works both ways, Nick Saban wasn't as impressive at Michigan State(a lesser top 25 program) as he has been at Alabama(blueblood program).

Also Petersen has beaten the Pac10 Champion, Acc Champion, Big12 Champion, MWC champion and SEC East Champion so the whole "his conference is shite" argument doesn't fly.
