Narrative:
Arriving from the north; right base visual approach to runway 31R; were cleared direct to final approach fix; visual approach. MCP set to 2200 feet for FAF; autopilot engaged; LNAV engaged; speed 170 knots. Aircraft overshot on runway intercept to between runways and then started correction back to centerline. I was PF and set MCP to zero to keep coming down on GS. Tower saw overshoot and cleared us to land runway 31L. Lefht correction to line up 31L and got a GPWS call. Tower made an altitude call. Leveled off and re-intercepted GS visual 31L. Normal landing and rollout.
