That's what a lot of the bracketology pundits have been doing since the Mississippi State loss. If people take the orange glasses off, they'll see that no one outside the fanbase has a lot of respect for Tennessee winning the SEC regular season title. The perception right now is that Tennessee is a cold shooting one-man team. Compared to Iowa State with its hot tournament run, and that leaves Tennessee, Arizona, and Marquette to fight over the other 2 seeds. Arizona gets a lot of respect for being Arizona, and they'll stay closer to their home region probably, so that leaves UT in either slot 7 or slot 8 for either the Midwest or East.
