Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t733)
UTG (t1145)
MP (t1160)
Button (t1960)
SB (t3002)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif.

1 fold, CO pushes, and everyone else folds to me. I fold.

With a big stack in the SB, and > 10bb, I figured I was behind here. And, I'm not that desperate yet. Thoughts?

If you fold this you have about half the stack of everyone else. This will make it somewhat difficult to steal. When I am stortstacked like this I am looking to gamble, not avoiding it. I think it is far more likely you are ahead here.

What hand range can we put villain on? I don't think he's pushing in this spot with junk like KJ, or A8. I ran it through Eastbay's program, and it says a call is neutral EV if villain pushes with 99+,AJ+. I know ICM doesn't tell the whole story, but I don't see how this is an instacall yet. How about future folding equity? With 6BB I still should be able to steal whenever the big stack folds (he hasn't been pushing around the table). A call just didn't seem obvious to me.

If that guy's pushing 99+, AJ+, he's the tightest player EVAR.

If it's neutral EV for him to have 99+, AJ+ here, then I autocall 100% of the time. There's no way you can't have someone push 88 here. There's no way you can't have a range that includes 77 or 66. AT is an easy push there.

This is an autocall. Thinking about folding this is costing you money.

If I haven't made it clear, this is a terrible laydown unless you have some kind of insane read.

Seems like you are overestimating your stealing ability and underestimating your opponents aggressiveness (imo). I think your range is too tight.
