It's the latest edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast and we are talking bowl game invites and and a pair of huge in-state basketball games on the schedule this week in Ames.

First, we start with the news that the Hawkeyes are going bowiling once again this year. Iowa is heading to Tampa for the seventh time in the Ferentz era and it's a new opponent. This time the Hawkeyes will face Vanderbilt, who had a 10-2 record this season, has scored over 30 points in all but one game this year, and have a Heisman Trophy finalist in Diego Pavia. We look at their season and take an early look at their key players.

Also, we look at the bowl season in general. With what happened in the College Football Playoff selections aren't we looking like a new 16 team playoff coming next year? Perhaps even more?

Then we are off to talking basketball where it's Cy-Hawk week in the state of Iowa. First we discuss the Iowa men's team, who picked up a significant win on Saturday afternoon over Maryland. What did we think of the victory for the Hawekyes, who shot it well and got out shot from the foul line by a significant margin. Finally we wrap up discuss what was almost a battle of top ten teams when the Hawekye women visit the Cyclones. We discuss the key match-up for the game in the post.
