I know the SEC tried it during their spring games and I think the Big 10 is attempting it as well.
The 8th official is the Center Judge and has a "C" placard. Last year the Big XII did it as well, but the 8th official was using a "A" placard. I don't know what they are looking for during the play but they, not the umpire, are responsible for spotting the ball.
