Plowing will bring up a fresh batch of weed seeds to contend with. Plowing will make it rough for as long as you have grass seeded there if you seed right away. You need a freeze and thaw and rain maybe several cycles to completely settle the plowed ground. You need to kill just the seeds on the surface and maybe three or four inches below the surface. Have it sprayed with roundup now with some 2-4D if you have broad leaves. Wait a month or so if you are in Michigan.
