Back to back Bulldogs

The Gators have struggled against Mississippi State. Who knows why. It's just one of those things that can happen in sports. Sometimes a team just has your number. Do I think that Florida will win today? Probably. But I anticipate having at least as many heart attacks as I suffered against Arkansas last week.
The western division Bulldogs are a vastly improved team, and next week the Gators face the eastern division Bulldogs, a vasty, erm... unimproved team. Why does it matter that we're playing Bulldogs in back to back weeks?
