Not getting ranked top by group during placement process for SA

Hey all, 

Incoming SA at a BB. If I don't end up getting ranked 1st by any group, or it doesn't align with my top rankings (not even my #1, but just any of them in general) - what typically happens? Am I just placed into a random group or is there still a shot that I get one of them even if im not ranked #1 by them?
