Team B is in kind of a run of the mill college town and is also a four hour drive. Team C is in a great city, but we would have to fly there. Team D is in a run of the mill town, and we would have to fly there."
You're going to choose A every time because it's an ready road trip, and there will be plenty to do besides the game.
Short of that, you either go with B because it's an easy road trip, and road trips are fun, or you go with C because you're willing to spend more money to see a game somewhere cool because the experience is worth the extra expense.
The only terrible option is D. You have to pay for for a plane ticket and deal with the hassle just to go to a mediocre town.
For Florida State, every trip in their division would be option D except Clemson (which has been in their conference for years).

OK, now lets stipulate that there are no 4-hour division drives for FSU, anywhere.
EVERY division game (ignoring Clemson) is either type C or D, and NC isn't as cool as you make it out to be. The downside of Boston is seeing the worst team this side of Duke, which should come close to cancelling it out, I mean, we're not talking about a beach or NYC, its just Boston.
