Week 10 proved to be successful for the Oregon Ducks, as they went into Columbus and emerged with a 41-28 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Not only did the win keep Oregon's slim hopes of making the Big Ten title game, it also strengthens their resume and gives them a little bit of hope that they could sneak in as an at-large if chaos ensues over the final three weeks of the regular season.

At the same time, there were a number of former Ducks around the country that had a hand in College Football Playoff-relevant games. That fact shouldn't come as a huge surprise, as nearly every outgoing Oregon transfer this offseason found a new home with a Power Four program.

Coming off of the 2025 season, the talent was incredibly dense on the Ducks' roster, but there just wasn't enough playing time to go around. As a result, we're seeing guys who served as rotational players, or even players that very rarely saw the field, have an impact with their new teams as they seek a CFP appearance — some on a crash course to directly compete with Oregon when the final 12-team playoff field is announced at the end of the season.

Let's check out the most notable performances from former Oregon Ducks in Week 10 of the 2026 college football season.

RB Makhi Hughes — Houston Cougars

After redshirting at Oregon, Makhi Hughes has had a nice bounce back season at Houston. On Saturday against Cincinnati, Hughes carried the ball 12 times for 90 yards and caught one pass for seven yards, helping the Cougars reach 7-2 with a 31-24 victory.

DL Terrance Green — Alabama Crimson Tide

Stuck in a rotational role at Oregon, Terrance Green got to 3.5 sacks on the year at Alabama with a takedown against LSU in Week 10. He also added three tackles in the 31-13 road win for the Crimson Tide.

DL Ashton Porter — Houston Cougars

With 20 tackles a season ago, Ashton Porter was one of the more accomplished Ducks to depart. He's now up to 27 tackles at Houston after notching six tackles, five of which solo, in the Cougars' win over Cincinnati.

RB Jayden Limar — Washington Huskies

In his second game back from injury, Jayden Limar carried the ball nine times and led Washington with 66 yards on the ground. He also caught two passes for 11 yards in the Huskies' 28-25 loss to Penn State.

WR Kyler Kasper — BYU Cougars

Kyler Kasper added to his career year on Saturday, as he caught three passes for 43 yards in BYU's 28-20 loss to Utah. The Cougars now find themselves fighting for their playoff lives after beginning the year 6-0, as they've dropped two of their last three games.

CB Sione Laulea and Jahlil Florence — Missouri Tigers

The former Oregon secondary duo of Sione Laulea and Jahlil Florence continue to be impactful for Missouri. Laulua managed three tackles and two passes defensed, while Florence had two tackles in the Tigers' 34-20 loss to Texas.

DL Tionne Gray — Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Tionne Gray's Fighting Irish have a clear path to the CFP if they win out after beating No. 1 Miami 31-24 in Week 10. Gray contributed three tackles and a pass deflection.
