But wouldn’t it give the impression to the committee that I would be better off studying at MIT than at Harvard?

In addition to what @Telluric said, you need to realize that while many of the videos on MIT OpenCourseWare (or any similar version) are videos of lectures, watching videos is not the same as actually taking the class at MIT and interacting with the instructor/students. Admissions Officers are certainly well aware of this.
