What we like is having our semester’s grade being based on an entire semester’s body of work and not just a 10-minute pop quiz.

As was stated by Bengal earlier, if the games that determine Cup playoff or March Madness eligibility are sufficiently well chosen, then those kinds of playoffs are fine. The rub occurs if teams with decidedly inferior win-loss records scrape into a playoff only to play a couple of title-determining games before carting off the hardware.
