Refinance and college funding

We are considering refinancing our one year old 5.5% 30 year fixed interest rate loan. Our balance is 450,000.00. We have about 250,000.00 equity and our credit scores are excellent with no other debt. Our delema is deciding to pay down our loan to refinance at 417,000 at a 4.5% interest rate or keeping that money in our managed money market account for our kids college funding. The money we save monthly by refinancing would also go towards college at least for the next 9 years. We plan to live in our house for at least 15 to 20 years or longer
