List of college football coaches with 20 ties

This is a list of college football coaches with 20 career ties.[1][2] 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.[3]

"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.
