There are two much bigger reasons:
1) Yakumo has not demonstrated a romantic interest in Harima.
2) Harima has not demonstrated a romantic interest in Yakumo.

Most people get excited about the Flag/Onigiri rivalry (while it lasts) because it seems to reduce the series to the familiar harem anime formula - the love story appears to be a competition to see who can 'win' the main protagonist. In actuality, though, the 'rivalry' is little more than a plot device to explore Eri's feelings of inadequacy over a couple of story arcs. We tend to assume that Yakumo has feelings for Harima for the purposes of constructing a love triangle between the three; note, however, that while there is a lot of innuendo that is suggestive of romance (a guy and a girl who are often alone in a room together), there is nothing there that actually establishes an interest on either side.

Hmm...Onigiri faction may still have a chance if Yakumo would develop a backbone or be her old-self when she was young in the manga.
Actually, he was sweating bullets until she told him that she was only going to fake it. This was already discussed in some depth in the Ep.6 thread.

If you're mainly deciding based on 'sweet', you'll find yourself converting, soon enough.
