It states 2008 finalist (this is correct) and 2007 Semi-finalist (also correct), so I asume you are pointing at the #1 ranking???? In SIC the rankings has to do with your play against all opponents and not just the state cup.. In the case of CUFC they had a very strong R3PL year and many of those teams are/were ranked very high including a 2-0 win over CESA
Please note that the year of state cup play is the year of the spring season even though the U15-U18 do not play in the spring. Thus 2008 Finalist.
In the end rankings are subjective to a large extent, although I believe SIC is a lot better than Gotsoccer or nationalrankings.com
