Not sure, but it really doesn't matter how much. A bump in win percentage is still a bump in win percentage.
Additionally, it may have something to say about the quality of teams chosen for the "guaranteed win" type game as I'm also sure that USC would be more likely to lose to Fresno St. than Mercer or The Citadel.
Bama also may be more likely to lose to Fresno St. than the bottom of the SEC. That may be a 5% chance compared to a 2% chance, but it's still more likely. lol
They continue to bring up Oregon State and Fresno State as bottom feeder wins but between the two since 2000 they have finished ranked about 6 times. They still cant tell me when Citadel , Chattanooga, Mercer ( who they play more than some conference opponents) have ever even been ranked even for a week since 2000.
