Basketball where you only use 7-8 players is different.

Exactly. You have to reserve the term "Giant" for a team that has a chance to be a dominant force at the top level of football.

Probably the last prescient example of that was Bear Bryant's circa-1970 comment to the effect that if "they ever got their act together" down in Gainesville, Florida could be a dominant team.

There's nothing like that out there now.

Sure there is but it's a much smaller pool.
