List of college football coaches with 20 ties

This is a List of college football coaches with 20 career ties. College football coaches who have coached college teams to 20 or more tie games are included in the list. College football has since established "tiebreaking" rules--without a change in game rules, no new members will be added to this list and there are no leaders in the support advocating repeal of the tiebreaking rule.

"College level" is defined as a four-year college or university program in either the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics or the National Collegiate Athletic Association. If the team competed at a time before the official organization of either of The Two groups but is GeneRally accepted as a "college football program" it would also be included.
