Yes, and with all respect to both of those teams, I would take the USCL rankings with a big grain of salt.

We're talking about rankings based on an algorithm developed by a lightly-trafficked website covering maybe the 9th most popular youth sport -- it's not like there are teams of NASA scientists pouring over this stuff.

It's not an algorithm. It is a marketing hammerhead. The clubs that run the so-called US Club Rankings are Madlax, 91, and a few others. They pay for the web site. Their teams get highly ranked. Then they use their own rankings to try to attract more customers and get more teams to play in their tournaments. It is a savvy business move. But if you think the 'rankings' are accurate or merit-based then you are a fool.
