Yes. Prior to the institution of overtime in 1996, any game that had a tie score at the end of four quarters officially ended in a tie.

Numerous games across the country in each division ended in a tie each season.

For example, the winningest program in College Football history, the University of Michigan, has an overall record of 901-314-36, meaning the Wolverines have won 901 games, lost 314 games, and tied 36 games.

Now that overtime has been instituted, a game ordinarily cannot end in a tie.

However, if a game were prematurely ended prior to the end of the fourth quarter by a mutual agreement between the programs for an extenuating circumstance (say, severe weather), and the game was in the second half, it is technically possible to conclude a game in a tie if the score was tied at the time the game was halted.

Is there double overtime in football?

In college football, yes. If the score is tied at the end of an overtime period, the game continues. Overtime rules in college football are set up so that there cannot be a tie game ... overtime periods will be played until one team is ahead at the end of an OT period. In the NFL, not in the regular season. If no team scores in the overtime period, the game ends and is declared a tie. Obviously, in the playoffs there can be a double overtime as those games must have a winner.
