Their FPI includes our SOS and our class ranking. We all know about the SOS. 

ESPN's recruiting rankings only favor the top teams due to their flawed grading system anyway. But that puts our class at an extreme disadvantage. Truthfully, it wasn't a 'memorable' class though it ended on a high note, but that's one of those factors that brings the number down. 

We still get the nod on the 'eye test' by ending last season like we did and bringing in a consensus elite coach, keeping QF, etc. etc. So arbitrary rankings will give us more favorable spots.
