At many research universities, top-flight or not, chances are good that those intro to intermediate classes will be taught by adjuncts, lecturers, or junior professors. However, the top professors in top departments, whether they teach undergraduates or not, will tend to attract better-qualified grad students and junior facultyrs. So I would expect to see some “trickle down” effects at top universities.

Still, I agree with juillet’s advice about going to an “undergraduate college” v. going to a “political science undergraduate program”. Even if you could be 100% sure about your major, It would be hard to advise you with very confident claims, because (1) there are no reliable assessments of undergraduate program quality for most individual arts & science departments, and (2) few of us are personally familiar with the current quality of multiple specific departments at multiple schools.
