The only thing I've seen (like here http://www.philosophyofreligion.info/the...ontingent/) basically just says you can imagine its nonexistence, thus it can't be the necessary whatever. Yet as you say, we can imagine God not existing too. So that tells us little. The universe's nonexistence may not be impossible, like the link says, but it also hasn't been shown that God's isn't.
