That's Ok because Nederland did drop quite a bit especially in the top 25. Let's keep winning, we'll be up there in the top 2 or 3.

Yes... Vidor won a tight hard fought game against Nederland. That being said if they were to play again Nederland would still be favored, just not by as much. I am from Vidor and will back the Pirates till the very end, it is not a nock on Vidor at all. Nederland has been playing the kind of football that Vidor did on Friday night for years. Vidor will not have to worry about where they are on any poll, just play like they did Friday and the rest will take care of itself. Not only that we are from Vidor and like being the underdog.

Let's not talk about jumping to the top just yet.

no one can answer my ?. because it can not be that way.

Because it was an upset. Teams get upset every year. Many times it is by a team with a losing record. That does not mean that you automatically jump ahead of a team that you beat. Watch high school or college football this year or any year. Watch how an unranked team upsets a highly ranked team. That does not mean that the team that pulled the upset jumps to the head of the class. In 1967, Nederland upset the #2 team in the state, Port Arthur Jefferson. Nederland ended up the year at 5-4-1. Nederland was only 3-3 when they beat TJ. You sure didn't see Nederland jump to the top 10 in Texas because they beat the #2 team in the state. In that year, Nederland only won 2 of 5 district games. Were people prejudiced against Nederland? No, it was an upset and nothing more. You have to leave it at that. If Vidor keeps winning and Nederland keeps losing, you will see Vidor ahead in the rankings in fairly short order.

You are trying to make the argument much like some Lumberton fans. They were 3-0 and other teams in the same district were 1-2 or 0-3. A couple of their fans couldn't understand how they were ranked under other teams with losing records. They found out last Friday. It is not to knock Vidor or Lumberton but you can't have a history of losing and win a couple of games and then have everyone else now believe that you will win district or even go to the playoffs. Give it time and read vp93's post. He makes very good points.
