Disregarding @Inspector_Mu ’s impending damage control aneurism, there is no other reason for Marco to be ranked > Oden, other than him just being straight up stronger.
Whitebeard has even been calling Oden “brother” as if he saw him as a virtual equal, and yet Marco still gets the YC1 rank. There’s no other interpretation of this other than Marco is just straight up > Oden.
If the division commander ranks were given based on experience, Whitey Bay would’ve got YC1 and Oden sure as hell wouldn’t have gotten YC2 lol. There’s no way someone with basically the least experience in the crew would get YC2 over all of his more experienced crew mates.

Just one minor correction. WB calls Oden little brother in the official.
