Well obviously you don't lay your sod over top of weeds. Kill them first with some weed killer that becomes inert before you dump your loam and lay your sod. Or if you're not into chemicals just trim the weeds with a weed wacker and rake up the mess before dumping the loam. Weeds aren't going to grow through sod.
Roto-tilling your dirt just creates a giant extra step that will only make your soil lumpy, which is the exact opposite of what you want to do. The only people who do this are people that don't know what they're doing.
