you'll be totally fine and get a reasonable job

Sure, but the question wasn't what would get you a reasonable job. The question was whether graduates from top schools have "better prospects" than graduates from no-name schools and yes, they do.

The question was also if the effort is wasted. I agree that the prospects are better at a top school, but that's not the same as "don't bother".
