Should we be pulling for an osu win Saturday?

Question is in the title. If you believe psu and osu are roughly equivalent teams we should probably be hoping osu wins on Saturday. The reasoning basically follows that if you believe they are equal, beating osu at home is more likely than beating psu on the road and there isn’t really another loss for either team on the schedule. If osu wins Michigan can survive a loss to psu on the road and still win the big ten east, if psu wins Michigan would have to win on the road to avoid the tiebreaker loss to psu.

So to give Michigans season more flexibility in winning it all, an osu win would be better. But also rooting for osu is gross and I get if nobody does it out of principle.
