I think it's hard to know what factors will matter. The name of the school may or may not matter to a particular company or hiring manager. I've seen it go both ways in my own professional career, observing people around me.
Sometimes, it can be due to the school's network, where either the hiring manager or somebody influential in the company is a fellow alum.
Sometimes, it can simply be perception ("because School A is highly selective and School B is not, most likely, the candidate from School A is more capable" - of course, this is often not the case, I am only talking about perception).
