CBS Sports: Numbers prove Kentucky is most underrated SEC team since 2012

Numbers don’t always tell the full story, but they don’t lie.

Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports has found that based on preseason predictions from the SEC Media and actual results, the Kentucky Wildcats and Mississippi State Bulldogs are tied as the most underrated teams’ in the conference since it expanded to add Texas A&M and Missouri in 2012.

Sallee has found that both Kentucky and Mississippi State has won nine more games than the media has projected them to since 2012, while the most overhyped teams are South Carolina, who have lost eight games more than they were projected to and Auburn who has lost five more.
