Northpole. I have seen it in high school and if I'm correct it was called Northpole or something like that.

OH MY GOD! This is exactly what a playbook-junky like myself has been dreaming of for the past few years, but I never thought it would actually happen!!! I have to give EA MAJOR props for this. They are really surprising me and exceeding my expectations with this playbook overhaul.
One of the things I love so much about college football is the differing styles of play. Unlike in the NFL where most teams run basically the same sets, NCAA teams run offensive schemes that run across the entire continuum of play styles. I'd frequently see teams running plays and formations Saturday after Saturday and dreaming that they could someday be in NCAA, but I knew it would never happen...looks like EA has proven me wrong!
Screen #4 is a formation called Emory and Henry - one which I was hoping would appear this year after learning that there would be 87 new offensive formations, but didn't realistically think would be in the game. It was originated by Steve Spurrier and first used with the mid-90's Gator teams - if my memory serves me correctly, he first used it in the '96 game at Tennessee. I also saw South Carolina use it on occassion last year. It can be a very deadly formation because you can easily exploit a defense if they line up incorrectly.
Even small changes with the playbooks would really help to mold and create a specific style of play for a team. For example, differentiating between Tennessee's I-Form vs. Ohio State or Texas' I-Form. Tennessee's should never have option plays or QB runs, whereas both OSU and Texas would have those plays in their I-Formation playbook. Also, another example: Texas Tech and West Virginia use a lot of the same formations (4 WR/1 RB/Shotgun), but their styles of play are polar opposites - WVU runs a power running game out of the spread, whereas TT relies almost exclusively on the pass with screens and draws constituting the bulk of their running game. Another small thing like Michigan's tight WR alignments - which are in the game, is an awesome step to feeling like you are actually using Michigan's playbook and not just a generic, rehashed playbook that every other team on NCAA uses. Flexed WR formations have been needed for some time, and they will be in the game. Wingback/H-back plays too!
Sorry, I can barely contain my excitement after seeing these pics and reading this article. This will make the game 100x more fun because I'll be playing with a ton of different teams to utilize their playbooks and offensive philosophies. This is the next best thing to a play editor.

In all seriousness though, if there are offensive formations like this in 07' -- can the defensive AI compensate to cover the gimmicky formations? In the 2 screenshots I saw of the Emory & Henry formation and the trip WR's stacked the defense stays in it's predetermined spots, that can't be right can it?

they may have just been in zone, which against those is obviously a big mistake. but i would think even the way it is now that if you went man, the defenders would follow them over there.

That formation has been used by a few teams with various names. Clemson called it the "POD" formation and ran it a few times when Rich Rodriguez was the OC. I too am concerned the defensive AI might not be able to handle all of these gimmicky formations. When Clemson ran it, they only did it a few times in one game of the season. There's a reason teams seldom lineup and run a formation like this. It is only good to surprise the defense for a couple of plays and hopefully get a quick score or big gain.
The most common name for that formation is "Emory and Henry". It's named after a small school in Virginia where according to some was the first time it was ever used. Maybe our resident historian COG could shed some light on that formation's origins.
