American college football season
The 2005 Syracuse Orange football team represented Syracuse University during the 2005 NCAA Division I-A football season . The Orange were coached by first-year head coach Greg Robinson and played their home games at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York .
In 2015, Syracuse vacated the one win from this season among others from the 2004 to 2006 seasons following an eight-year NCAA investigation, as the NCAA found that some football players who committed academic fraud participated in the wins.[ 1] [ 2]
