I think the best power play in all of football is the Super Sweep out of the true double wing. You guys should research it. You have to have a QB that will block. I think LCA might have run it a little a couple years ago. Basically the Wing comes in motion and the QB opens to him and pitches. The QB continues to spin into the whole behind the fullback and the QB is another lead blocker. Lots of bodies at the point of attack!
Couple shotgun option things:
The zone read was found on accident at WVU. One of the backup QB's got tired of the backside end running things down so he pulled the ball on his own and ran it. Rich Rodriguez liked it so they started working it. Zone read is a double option.
A lot of teams added a 2nd back to come behind as the pitch back then the cowboy option etc evolved. I think WVU even runs the bubble as the 3rd option now too. There are a lot of other things you can do that I'm not putting on here too

Utah/Fla spiced up the gun option by getting into more of a single wing look. They run the shovel option. It can be run a lot of ways but they usually block it like the old power play. Basically block down and backside guard pulls up in the whole to lead up on the ILBer. The QB sprints outside and tries to stretch the read key. If he stretches then the QB shuffles it underneath which is where you see the shovel pass. It really isn't much different than the old Ohio State Power Off Tackle play. If the read key squeezes the shovel then it turns into speed option on the outside between the QB + RB. Tebow brought a whole new tweak because he was a beast. Basically they started running a lot of single wing which is REALLY OLD and some jet stuff with Percy Harvin etc. Somewhere I had film of a state championship high school team in Michigan that was exlusive true single wing. It was the wildest offesne I've seen in high school. They won huge in the state championship several years ago. They had brown yellow and white uniforms but the school slips me. I know there was a Christian Brothers on that tape but I don't think that was them. They put on a single wing clinic!
