The Tennessee Vols are set to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday in the regular-season finale.

If Tennessee beats Arkansas, they'll finish the season undefeated at home. The Vols will also finish with a 23-7 overall record.

The Volunteers appear to be destined for a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Joe Lunardi, ESPN's Bracketology expert, has Tennessee as a No. 3 seed in his latest bracket update.

This is where Lunardi had the Vols in his last update, too.

The matchups, however, have changed a bit.

Lunardi previously had Tennessee playing Northern Iowa in the first round, with a potential second-round matchup against either Iowa or North Carolina. Then a possible Sweet 16 game against Baylor.

In his new update, Lunardi has the Vols playing Texas State in the first round with a potential second-round matchup against either Ohio State or Davidson. If the Vols made it to the Sweet 16 in Lunardi's latest update, they could possibly play Duke in the Sweet 16.

Playing Ohio State in the second round could be tough. The Buckeyes are currently 19-9, but they've beat some good teams this year — including Duke back in November.

These bracket predictions will change a lot over the next week — especially with conference tournaments taking place.

But it's still interesting to see where the Vols stand.
