The defending champion Georgetown Hoyas were a likely team to make it to the championship game in 1985. They were the No.1 team in the country and had Co-Player of the Year Patrick Ewing at center. Villanova, on the other hand, wasn't even ranked and had lost to the Hoyas both times the two teams met in the Big East play. Nevertheless, the underdog Wildcats shot 78.6 percent (22 for 28) and upset the highly favored Hoyas.

If we're talking great teams, don't forget the Fab Five, who won four straight NCAA championships! Oh... wait... that was just what people were predicting. They actually fell a bit short of that, didn't they?
Great teams should be able to show up in a championship game. The '07 Patriots probably would have beaten the '07 Giants 7 out of 10 times, but the Giants were better on the day that counted. The '80 Soviet hockey team was clearly superior to the American team, but not on the day that counted. Sports still should require great teams to show up in the most pressurized situations, and Georgetown didn't. I don't think that's a flaw.
