I will say that playing for a top tier team, early playing time, and an NFL pipeline schtick is significatnly more important to a recruit than playing for a team that won a Championship.
There is a reason Bama gets the pick of the litter and the rest of us get what they graciously allow us to have. The type of kids we go after will also have offers from schools that don't get their arse kicked by a 6-5 team who fired their coach. I couldn't disagree with your "those losses hardly matter" statement.

Saban got the top recruiting class in the nation the same year he lost to UGA and went like 8-4 and we got the top rated player in the country this year...

Don't know if you recall but we flipped two of their commits this year.
In recruiting, it's not JUST about championships. Championships are great for recruiting, yea. The biggest sell to recruits is getting to the league. Bama wins AND gets people to the league. That's why they've had the number 1 class for 43 straight years.
The losses are minuscule compared to how well a team/coach can prepare a recruit for the NFL. Championships are just gravy that put teams over the top.
