They aren't. What they have better is prestige, access to resources and access to opportunities for career development. Even though you might be smarter, better etc. in a smaller university, nobody would pay attention to you as much as they would if you come from certain universities, certain labs, certain professors, certain cliques, even though you might be the next Einstein
I had a friend in high school who pulled himself up real high by the bootstraps. He ended up going out of Liberal Mountain, Idaho to study in Liberal, Kansas. The point being is that he was at a tippy top tier school that you've heard of. He was still learning the same o chem as me. It was a different textbook but it was the same stuff at the same time in the semester.
For what it's worth, I believe both Harvard and MIT offer online classes for free. In my worldview, there needs to be a coming to God moment about what it means to be qualified for a job because even if you had an MIT level education, entry level jobs that require o chem hardly need the kind of route memorization that comes with the education. But that's another story for another time.
