Being an A&M fan I have a unique perspective probably, but I think its harder to wake one of these "sleeping giants" than people admit.
College football is a caste system for the most part, which keeps the same teams on top. For a sleeping giant to break through requires a lot of things to go right, that is why outside of Clemson we have one seen one other sleeping giant wake up (UF) the last 40 years.
Which is true. I don't disagree. But I could point out that, by the standards laid out here, Bama was a 'sleeping giant' after Stallings and probation. It took a generational, or even all-time, coach to wake them. So if we apply this logic to teams like Clemson and TAMU, it's only reasonable to apply it to the clear-cut woken giants.

No offense, but I don't agree.
Bama has a national title in 1992, that is on another planet from where Clemson was four years ago or where A&M is today.
Plus Bama is one of those brands that needs a fifty year gap to take it down a peg. I wouldn't call Notre Dame a sleeping giant for the same reason, it is a program that anyone anywhere thinks could POSSIBLY win a national title.
Programs like A&M or Clemson in 2013 have people who deny its even possible to win a national title. That makes it hard to convince recruits it can happen and to sign with you over some other program.
