What role does being in DMOZ play in rankings?

SEONewz

What role does being in DMOZ play in rankings? I see some websites in my niche ranked No. 1 and the only reason is because they are in DMOZ as their content is at best poor. Getting into DMOZ is impossible nowadays, so why does Google still use it?
