It's not necessarily hard to beat a team twice in general. It happens with intra-divisional teams plenty in the NFL, and that's with each team playing on the road once.
The main reason it's hard in college is because if you're playing a particular team twice, it's because they were good enough to make it to the conference championship and/or playoffs.
So, yeah, it's hard to beat a really good team twice, but it's not necessarily hard to beat a team twice in general.
