Connecting with Interviewer

Has anyone had the experience after being interviewed of feeling you got it for sure because you connected with the interviewers so much, but ended up not getting the job?

It befuddles me. We were talking about sports, news, and personal stuff and then still didn't get it. I really wanted that position too.
