The program I want is my alma mater, Purdue.

I believe a high variance display of offensive firepower is our best chance of "punching up". So I voted for a pass heavy spread.

Some is program dependent. 

If I'm at a lesser one, say Cal, I'm running the triple. Probably a flexion variation.

If I'm at a bigger school, I'm running whatever we call Dan Mullin's offense. I guess it's a run spread, but it's versatile. 

I can't logically run the single wing as a primary college offense, but I'd want to. All that said, Wisconsin should only run what it does now, which is run-heavy, I and double tight wing, with a passing game that spends a little time in the gun. It's interestingly a whole offense that runs off run-run-pass and remains effective.

Balanced spread, which is not a choice.

I'd love to see somebody run the single-wing and succeed with it, though.

1944 Army training video of the single-wing.  It's long, has the play graphic, and commentary.

Nice video.  I watched about 8:20 of it.  I'll have to get back to it and watch the remaining two hours plus.

Balanced pro-style / spread hybrid, which is basically what Michigan finally has since last year.

Pound bad/mediocre teams into submission with the running game and then open up the playbook against top 25 teams. There's no reason to run too many passing plays against other teams and risk getting the QB hurt unless/until they stack the box.

I realize that's a somewhat oversimplified explanation, but that's the essence of what seems to work best along with a strong defense.

I think it's highly dependent on situation.  A program like Georgia Tech or Army has no chance to get enough 4-5 star players to play man on man, it won't work.  Programs that are top ten in recruiting each year can run some version of what pros run so they can continue to attract players who want to play on Sunday.  

I think if Ohio State started a gimmicky offense, they would lose some ability to attract high level skill players and OLs.

I'd run something very similar to what Scott Frost is running

heavy on the run game with plenty of QB run

plenty of option in the run game and run/pass option

a lot of traditional option in a more spread formation

power I with option elements and leverage of play action passing...    that said, I'm not sure you can recruit to that today.     Therefore, I'd run a offense like OSU had under Urban... power spread with deep passing threats.

One offense I admired what that WVU spread they used to beat us in the bowl game.  (I thought our defense was completely unprepared, but whatever.).  The UGA strength was the secondary, so WVU lined up 4 WRs as wide as possible and played 7 on 7 up the middle with a very fast QB and RB.  If our LBs missed a tackle, and they did ....

It was 28-0 before I had my first beer.

You play to your strengths.  Richt was way out coached for that game, not for the first time.  Or last.

The cool part of this thread is that you can pick your situation and be specific :)
