Throw out the NBA and NFL... no league that allowed over half the teams into the playoffs deserves to be the best.
College Football... maybe, incomplete grade.
Personally I like MLB, but in this one I might give the edge to the NFL, unless they expand like there have been talks of.

MLB would be best if they extended the Division Series to Best of 7 and the WC to best of 3.
I'd vote NFL right now.

NFL by far.

NBA would be the best if they played best of 5 and didn't have like 3-4 days between games. It's unreal how long the playoffs drag on.
NFL is the most fun to watch but kind of sucks with single elimination. I know that's how you have to do football, but the best team rarely wins. Also, they need to work out seeding where a really good wild card team isn't playing on the road to an inferior division champ.
I don't really like hockey but they do it the best.
MLB sucks because of the wild card game. Probably the best once that's over. I like the small field.
Aggregate scoring in soccer is stupid. I see why people like it but I hate seeing two teams tie 0-0 and then 1-1 and then the away team is just kicking the ball around in the backfield the last 10 minutes because they advance.

Season Length: NBA - 5.5 months, MLB - 6 months.
% of teams that make playoffs: NBA - 53, MLB - 33.
Potential length of Post Season: NBA - 2 months, MLB - 1 month.
I don't even know why they have 8 seeds in the NBA, no 8 has ever beaten a 1 in a 7 game series. And counting the post season the NBA season is actually longer than MLB.

And then a one match final? Stupid
The final is at a neutral site.
So you get the two best teams due to the great set-up, and then settle it on the field at a neutral site like the NFL.
Pretty much perfect.

Can't go wrong with NFL/NBA/NHL. MLB has a terrible system. A 1 and done wildcard game combined with their 5-game divisional series after such a long season.

Didn't know 12 was over half of 32. Must be that new math.

It's only 2-3 games max, mostly at the beginning of a series, that goes 3 days. Most games run on one day's rest.

Hardest: Stanley Cup, it's a fricking grind, and up to 4, 7 game series of being beat down and grinded.
Include only 1-2 days between games and the possibility of more than one 20 minute overtime period to decided a game. NHL playoffs can be brutal.

NHL easily. 7 games. Reseed after each round.

Or the stupid finals format changing to 2-3-2. Honestly I'd rather be the team without home court advantage and have game 3, 4, and 5 at home

MLB, despite the stupid one game Wildcard round

NHL is my favorite. MLB is the worst for me. By a lot
