Who holds it comes from the games on file: the winner of the latest regular-season meeting (bowl rematches aren’t played for it); a tie leaves it with the holder (the usual rule; the article doesn’t say). The article names Jacksonville State as the winner of the 2025 meeting. From Wikipedia’s list of rivalry games and the rivalry’s article (CC BY-SA). More on the Ol’ School Bell.
