Hate to admit this, but I'd take KU off that list right now.
The damn Morris twins need to control their tempers, it's really killing this team. Josh Selby isn't healthy. Thomas Robinson isn't healthy. Tyshawn Taylor could be the worst PG in the country (slight hyperbole; but he's bad). You can't win the title without at the very least an average point guard. -

All VERY, VERY good teams....all very beatable, especially in a one game playoff like the NCAA. In a series, I would agree with you. The NCAA is fairly wide open with a number of teams who could get hot at the right time. As has been mentioned, there are no GREAT, dominating teams out there. (including Texas

Honestly, I couldn't disagree more about only three teams being able to win it all. And I'm not just saying that because of the fact that Duke isn't on that initial list.
As CBF said, Texas, Kansas and Ohio State are all very good, and all more than beatable. Look at Ohio State, for example, arguably playing better than any other team in the nation over the entire season. The Buckeyes are a dangerous team, especially with the way they can defend -- and, course, Jared Sullinger inside. But they've sandpapered their way out of games against substantially inferior opponents of late (4-point win at Iowa, 3-point win at home against Penn State, 4-point win at Michigan, 1-point win at Northwestern, 6-point win at home against Michigan, etc.)
Teams like Pitt, Duke, Georgetown, Arizona, North Carolina and Louisville, among many others, could get hot at the right moment and take it all. We are looking at one of the most wide-open years in history, folks.
