Fold and then reread Sklansky's explanation of the Gap Concept.

Maybe reread what actually occurred in this hand and try to apply your readings to the late stages of an SNG.
Over 20% of my chips were in the big blind, the big stack goes all-in from the small blind and I would be getting good pot odds to call here with a hand that likely isn't dominated.
I'm surprised that some people would fold this in the situation I was in. To them, what would you call with then? AJ+,TT+??? That has to be wrong.

Once they are in the middle they aren't your chips. They are chips in a pot which might give you better odds to call. If you fold here, you are pretty much equal with 4 other stacks and 1 monster stack which is a lot of different situation than if there were 3 big stacks and 2 stacks of your size.
As far as calling ranges, you really don't want to be calling a lot of all ins even if you are slightly ahead. To me this is a really edge case and you really need a feel for what the SB would be pushing with here to make a call.
