I think the overall size of the school and endowment per student are two of the strongest determinants in the value you get out of a college education. At the undergrad level you don’t need nobel prize winners that you never see, but rather strong teaching, ready access to grants, a cozy administration, access to professors, access to top recruiting, etc. I think the smaller Ivies and the many of the top LACs excel in these areas. I am not so sure UMiami or USC would make much of a difference.
