better is a pretty broad question
More relevant to winning conference title? - Maybe, at least until auburn gets back in form
More relevant nationally? - Probably not, at least not until the Bama "dynasty" actually falls. OSU has less wiggle room in big 10
More relevant historically - Yes
More important to respective fan bases and region - Yes. OSU really doesn't have any other real rivals. Michigan has MSU and maybe ND previously, but both were no where near as important as OSU to them.l Bama has TN, Auburn has UGA.
All in all, OSU Michigan is a more all-consuming rivalry to the fans involved so maybe it's fair to categorize it as better
