Reread the rules for oversized weapons. Each size above normal increases the 'handedness' by a category. A large dagger is a one handed weapon for a medium creature, and a huge dagger is a two handed weapon.
No one uses collosal great swords because... You can't.

By RAW, you can't.
Inappropriately Sized Weapons: A creature can't make optimum use of a weapon that isn't properly sized for it. A cumulative –2 penalty applies on attack rolls for each size category of difference between the size of its intended wielder and the size of its actual wielder. If the creature isn't proficient with the weapon, a –4 nonproficiency penalty also applies.
The measure of how much effort it takes to use a weapon (whether the weapon is designated as a light, one-handed, or two-handed weapon for a particular wielder) is altered by one step for each size category of difference between the wielder's size and the size of the creature for which the weapon was designed. For example, a Small creature would wield a Medium one-handed weapon as a two-handed weapon. If a weapon's designation would be changed to something other than light, one-handed, or two-handed by this alteration, the creature can't wield the weapon at all.

because there's rules in the game saying it cannot be done. you cannot wield a weapon intended as two handed for a creature bigger than you.
so generally large sized bastard sword is the best you will get.
It doesn't matter if you have 2 Strength or 200. According to the rules, unless you have a special ability that states otherwise, you can't wield a two-handed weapon built for a creature one size category larger at all. You can use a size Large one-handed weapon as a two-handed weapon though (so you, for instance, be doing 2d8 with a size Large Bastard sword).

Unfortunately this is correct. I was hoping that I could make my colossal greatsword wielding barbarian. HAHA JK

By the way, the Jotungrip ability does nothing to help you wield larger weapons.
That depends on who you ask. For instance, the guy who wrote the archetype disagrees with you.
In the groop were i GM's and play we we let players weild one size category larger weapons. This is because we play a fantasy game. So weird things are possible. For the rest of rule discussions we say this.
A Huge Great sword is 4 times a large greatsword. A large great sword is twice a avarage human. around 3.5 meters. So a Huge greatsword is 4x 3.5 is 14 meters. That is Truck or house! No, No, no!
Do the math for a Collossal Greatsword yourself.

Unfortunately, that does not match current errata.
