ANN ARBOR -- Jim Harbaugh made his weekly radio appearance on 97.1-FM on Thursday morning, and the hosts spent a few solid minutes trying to get him to say one thing.
They wanted him to admit he'll be rooting for Ohio State on Saturday when the Buckeyes host Michigan State.
He didn't. Technically.
"What's the best outcome for us?" Harbaugh asked. "What's best for Michigan is what I'll be (rooting for)."
That would be Ohio State.
If Michigan can find a way through Penn State on Saturday (noon, ABC), and if the Buckeyes can notch a victory over the Spartans in Columbus later in the afternoon, then the Wolverines will return to Ann Arbor for a Big Ten East division title game against Ohio State on Nov.
