How many National Titles would you take - if Gauranteed???

Lawton Swann (aka: "Swanny" or "El Swann" here on Tigernet) asked this question to Clemson fans on his radio show, "Clemson Sports Talk," yesterday. El Swann®
His question asked, "What is the minimum number of Clemson football national titles you would agree to accept - IF Guaranteed - over the remainder of your life?" Once you accept a number, Clemson would win exactly that number of national titles (no more and no fewer) over the rest of your life.
Obviously, the answer would likely be affected by the number of years you expect to remain in your life. Some fans, therefore, responded to "Swanny" by putting a time frame on the question - typically 10 years.
For me, I am 56 years old. If offered such a guarantee over my lifetime, I think I would accept 5 guaranteed additional national titles. That would allow me to see Clemson win 8 national titles. I could certainly rest in peace with that! Of course, that also means I would accept any number greater than 5 if a greater number were offered.
Over the next 10 years, I would lock in at any number of 3 or greater if offered. I am sure some of you would not accept just three, so if I locked us in at 3, you might want to express your displeasure in negative ways! Perhaps I would have to disguise my name to something like CBProf2 so that you could not find me.
Swanny guessed that almost all South Carolina fans would accept 1 over the next 10 years or over their individual lifetimes.
Just wondered how you all would answer the questions:
What is the minimum number of Clemson football national titles you would accept - if guaranteed:
1) Over the next 10 years?
2) Over your lifetime?

1) 2
2) 4
I’m almost 60 and not too greedy. 1981 lasted for a looooong time.
LOL at coots saying 1 in their lifetime. They had their shot in 1984, notoriously roided up to the max, and of course blew it. Good luck seeing that chance again in your lifetimes coots.

Can we do 1 every 5 years?

Would still be very happy with 1 every 10 years (though very spoiled with recent success).
What's the downfall of asking for every year guarantee? I don't see what I'm giving up with the question as framed.

Just one more than Bama-
It would be great to see how ESPN and SEC would explain away-
Clemson played nobody!

I hope to get at least 2 more during this glory period that hopefully can extend until 2030.
But at some point in my life I expect drop back and possibly another 90s like dead period. Hope not, but would be hard to remain elite for 20+ years
