Good Morning: The BCS Is Planning A Crazy Going-Away Party

FSU took over the top spot on the BCS rankings after Alabama's dramatic loss to Auburn in the final second of the Iron Bowl, with Ohio State in a close second. Many thought the undefeated Buckeyes would jump to the No. 1 spot with a tougher strength of schedule, as was the same case for the one-loss Tigers jumping everyone. Teams are digging in their heels for the BCS grind already, positioning themselves as the nation's best just in case anything else crazy happens this weekend, when three teams compete for two spots during Championship Weekend.

 

Peyton Manning, Eric Decker and the Denver Broncos took care of the Kansas City Chiefs once again, this time at Arrowhead Stadium, taking command of the AFC West with a 35-28 victory. Manning threw four TDs to Decker and Jack Del Rio finished up his tenure as interim coach, going 3-1 in John Fox's absence. KC was up 21-7 in the second quarter, but let the lead slip once Manning got in the zone.

A man was also killed in the parking lot at Arrowhead, a death police are investigating.
