Default Loose pushes? Call?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

SB (t925)
BB (t7175)
Hero (t2025)
Button (t3375)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t450</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t925</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t7175</font>, Hero ???

I raised hoping the short stack would push and I got my wish, but the chip leader surprised me by pushing as well. Folding leaves me with very few chips (relatively) and if I call and win I have a very respectable stack. Also, if the BB has a monster and the SB and I get eliminated I still make the money. Who calls here? (The buy-in was $33 if it matters.)

I'd call because there is a good chance your hand beats one of theirs and hopefully both.

What's BB's range? Can't be that wide, can it? 99-AA, AK-AQ? Against that, JJ is 45% or so, and considering the money in there, I call.
