Teams have two modes on Selection Sunday: Jubilation and utter devastation. There's nothing better than the feeling of getting in as a bubble team -- and nothing more devastating than being one of the teams left off. For every Alabama there's a Baylor, and for every Lipscomb making it in for the first time there's a Louisville being left off.

With that in mind, it's worth looking at the teams making it in, especially teams that defied the odds.

Take Alabama basketball, a bubble team that rode the heroics of Collin Sexton to make its way in. Sexton hit a buzzer-beater against Texas A&M to keep Alabama in contention, before Alabama pulled off an improbable upset against the SEC's No. 1 seed Auburn. Alabama basically had punched its own ticket at that point, but the reaction was in tune with a team with minimal expectations heading into the season.

Even when you're a lock for the tournament, there's still an air of excitement. North Carolina experienced that when it was announced it would be a No. 2 seed in the West region. Even more exciting? If it plays its best basketball, teams will have a hard time unseating UNC until it would play No. 1 Xavier -- in the Elite Eight.

The Big Ten is also well-represented in this tournament, with Michigan and Michigan State in particular getting favorable draws.

Here's a look at some of the other teams as they were announced.

And, of course, the feeling of being the last team in.

Then, of course, there are the snubs. The teams that battled all season and couldn't quite make it. You often hear that negative emotions have a nasty habit of overpowering positive ones. That goes double for fans.

There's a lot to unpack, but there always is on Selection Sunday. For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. There are going to be a lot of angry fans after today. So please, take it easy on your Notre Dame and USC friends. You're only going to make them angry. And as for teams like Alabama and Syracuse? Your jabs are wasted on them. They'll dance out of the way.
