So I just finished resizing the big T
down to medium and large size, and I still
think each of these are in the 15+ CR rating.
Isn't the statted beast as is too low for all
its special abilities?

Not sure what version you are using, however unless you did major revision to the monster its CR appears to be in the range of 55 to 70, due to hit dice and special abilities. The big T is harder to kill then an avatar of a deity.

49+ HD (Colossal)

Just the 3.5 MM1 version. I look at all the special
abilities and the epic weapon DR and think
CR 20 is far too low.

It's lower than 20. A party will have the resources to kill it by the time they reach 17th level. Earlier, if they can get their hands on a Wish from something.

Yes its CR is too high because it has a lot of limitations. For example it can't reach a party who has access to flight.
