USA only got to #5 in the world rankings by playing and beating shitty teams like Canada and Costa Rica etc. They've been beaten by England and Germany now easily, both teams are lower in the FIFA rankings than them. This is because of #1 Euro teams don't give a shit about friendlies. #2 Euro teams generally play teams that are better at football or have more established football tradition than the US's common opponents.
The crapness of the FIFA rankings system was proven when a (by their standards) cruddy German team mauled the US 4-1.
